Rehoboth Beach is a great town to walk, jog and just sit on one of the many benches outlining the award-winning Boardwalk. During the summer months this Boardwalk is packed, but on The Second Season, it is a great place to relax and take in that salty ocean air.
Funland is close for the season, but Playland is open!!
Part of the fun whille on the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk is the “boardwalk grub”. Those foods that scream “ice cream”. These ladies were having so much fun and happy to pose, as welll.
At the water’s edge the fun continued.
And on the beach, some were walking their dogs (you can do that now) or beachcombing.
From the north side of the Boardwalk the WWII Towers were clearly seen.
Plenty of weddings take place on the beach….and yesterday, as the day started to wind down….the guests were patiently waiting.
I had to get back to my car….have a good one!!

Delmarva Roots is a series of films about the rich history of the Delmarva region. If you missed it at the Film Festival then here is another chance.
Forty years ago, Governor Russell W. Peterson championed Delaware’s landmark Coastal Zone Act to preserve the Delaware shoreline. Before Peterson’s death last February at the age of 94, he was interviewed. He recounted the dramatic struggle to craft and pass this visionary legislation. In addition to reporting his story, the film explores the 40 year history of the Coastal Zone Act, and presents the ongoing challenges all Delawareans face in the struggle to balance the desire for industrial development with a love for unspoiled natural habitats. After the screening, Director Michael Oates will lead a question and answer session about the production of the film.
