Big Chill Beach Club, Indian River Inlet, Delaware State Seashore Park, SoulFire Collective, Yoga, Delaware Beaches, Misaki Sushi, South Bethany, Bethany Beach, Sipping, Dining, Coastal Delaware, Summer 2019

At times when you do not plan anything and just go with the flow or wing it, you have the most fun. Long summer days, not rushing, is part of living here at the Delaware Beaches. Believe me, I know I am lucky to live here and never take it for granted.

Debbie and I took off towards the Big Chill Beach Club. This is located south of Dewey Beach, Delaware, and probably closer to Bethany Beach. The actual address is 27099 Coastal Hwy., Bethany Beach, DE 19930. It opens at 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. every day. Website? http://www.bigchillbeachclub.com

You can have the server sit you at a table or you can take a seatt at the bar looking out, which is what Debbie and I did. That was our view, sipping a little wine. We checked the menu and it actually looked good. Have not tasted the food so let me know if you do.

As we arrived it seemed there was a yoga class. This yoga studio in Rehoboth Beach, SoulFire, was celebrating with a class their 1st year anniversary. Very popular as you can see. SoulFire Collective Yoga is located at 176 Rehoboth Ave., #2a, in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Website? http://www.soulfirecollective.com

The sun was setting and being high up you could capture how pretty it was.

Summer 2019 is expected to be a very busy one. The Delaware Beaches are year round resorts. People want to get out of the city. They want to experience that total physical and mental inertia. Refresh, really. Rehoboth Beach has a sign as you enter the city that says “Relax, You Are at The Beach”.

Finding parking might take all that physical and mental inertia by the wayside so Debbie and I continued to Misaki Sushi in South Bethany. Parking, good food, great service and very affordable.

Misaki has been around for many years. The location is at 34444 Coastal Highway, York Beach Mall, Bethany Beach, DE 19930. It opens at 5 p.m. Tel. 302-539-0500. You can find them on Facebook as Misaki Sushi Bethany Beach. You can also find them on Instagram.

A shout to our server who was attentive but not intrusive.

Debbie and I started with two salads. The Seaweed Salad for Debbie, which was marinated seaweed and sesame seeds. And mine was the Lighthouse Salad which I found delicious. Seared tuna, avocado and sweet miso.

I love scallop sashimi so when on the menu, I do order it. My roll was the special of the evening.

For Debbie the Bam Bam, salmon, scallop and avocado.

We chatted, caught up with each other, and laughed…..what are friends for, right?

The Art of Sipping & Dining, a way to relax, enjoy and reconnect. Talk to you later.

Indian River Inlet Bridge, Finally, Two lanes are open, offering great views, Delaware Beaches, Second Half? Opening in June, bike lanes included

 

The Indian River is 15 miles long, located in Southern Delaware. The River is crossed in 3 places, Rt. 113 in Millsboro, Delaware, Rt. 24/Rt.30 also in Millsboro and in Rt. 1 at the Delaware Seashore State Park.

That’s where you will find most of us traveling between the Delaware beaches going north or south.  It is a most scenic route.  This is also a major route for visitors going to Ocean City, Maryland.

The bridge was considered structurally deficient due to tidal erosion, so for the past few years the construction of a new bridge has been underway.  If you happened to have been caught in traffic during the summer months, on this route, well, think again.  We have the new bridge completely open. 

It is very impressive, modern, with clean lines.  Best of all; the views have not been impaired.

I was traveling north, from Bethany Beach.  This bridge is our highest point, probably in all Delaware, so it was great to see that expansive view covering the ocean and the bay.  Never get tired of it.

 

Have a great day!!

Indian River Inlet Bridge, South Bound Lane Opens, Looks Great at the Delaware Beaches!!

 

For years it has been “pedal to the metal” as you crossed over the Indian River Inlet Bridge.  It was looking old and a bit decrepit. 

It took long enough but after a few years of building, it finally has opened. 

If you are traveling right by the coast, south or north bound on Coastal Highway (Rt. 1) you will find this route to be so scenic and gorgeous; the Bay on one side, the Atlantic Ocean on the other.  The locals that drive this route back and forth to the different towns for work every day are truly lucky.

The South Bound lane is the one that just opened and so I took a drive on a rainy, foggy and warm winter day.  Can’t complaint because it has not been bad at all.  Here are the pictures.

South Bound (New Bridge)

 

North Bound (Old Bridge and Pedal to the Metal)

 

My trip was not only to cross over the new bridge but to also visit Seaquels, the consignment shop near Bethany Beach.  Just moved to a new building….post in the making, stay tuned….

Have a good one!!
