It was in the bucket list. But, a friend said to feel the rush. It was going to be peaceful and so much fun. It was all of that and more. Friends like Debbie, Sharon, and Cindi….those women that like to enjoy life to its fullest.
Dewey Beach offers a playground for adults and children, as well. Water sports are a must when in Dewey. The Atlantic Ocean on one side and Rehoboth Bay on the other. In between? Restaurants, bars and entertainment venues.
Our destination was Dewey Beach Parasail, located at the Rusty Rudder on Coastal Highway and Dickinson St. Tel. 302-227-9507 Website? http://www.flydewey.com
After filling a form we were ready for our parasailing adventure. The boat had already some passangers. We were the last to get in but the first ones to go parasailing.
Meet Justin, the Captain, and Dylan, the Crew. This company is very experienced and has a perfect safety record.
After going through some pertinent information it was time to get the parasail up in the air.
It was so easy to take off and also an easy and gentle landing. They have tandem and triple rides available. We were going tandem. This activity is fun for all ages, young to matured ones. There is a photo package and t-shirts available, as well.
So here we are..first Sharon and I.
Then, Cindi and Debbie:
It really was great fun. Getting a birds eye view of the coast was priceless!!
Then off to Woddy’s for the best crab cakes in town.!!
Woody’s is located at 1904 Coastal Highway in Dewey Beach. Tel. 302-260-9945 Website? http://www.deweybeachbar.com
For years Woody’s has been considered as the place to go to get the best crab cakes at the Delaware Beaches. Colossal Lump Crab!
We all had the crab cakes and loved them. Just huge chunks of crab meat with no fillers!!
ABOUTMYBEACHES HAS TURNED 6 TODAY….And what a great way to celebrate with some of my good friends. A few of the usual suspects were missing, but they know who they are. Up to date I have 1,926 posts with 1,960 comments. I do have advertising available. Let me now if you are interested. $500/year for the banner. Just send me an email to info@aboutmybeaches.com.
Our day came to an end but not before I let the Dewey Police Dept. know that those meters at the Rusty Rudder need to be checked out. They are always a problem. And, Cindi was not happy.
Have a Good One!! TTYL!!

An unexpected nice day, I must say. Waking up to one of those gorgeous days that the Delmarva Peninsula offers to us residents and visitors, as well. If you were visiting the Delaware Beaches, the week-end did not start on a good note, weatherwise. The ones that hung around were rewarded for their patience and understanding.
I have plenty of friends. Cindi is one of them. I have known her for such a long time. And, she is game for anything; a foodie too. Probably not a good influence on me, but what the heck.
We went to visit a friend in the town of Roxanna. To tell you the truth we were in no rush to leave her farm because look at the view from her deck. So close to the beaches and yet so rural.
But, as we started to get hungry we took off for an impromptu visit to Woody’s East Coast Bar & Grill. It is located at 1904 Highway One in Dewey Beach, Delaware. It is so easy to find. Dewey is not that big. A small strip shopping center; retail on the bottom, apartments on top. Tel. 302-260-9945. Their website is under construction, so please check them out on Facebook as Woody’s Dewey Beach.
The reason for this unexpected stop to Woody’s was because everyone keeps talking about their crab cakes. They are the best and bla bla bla….
We made ourselves comfortable as we went through the menu. Check everything we tried. Here it goes. By the way, it all came at once.
Cindi said we had to try the Crab Pretzel. This was a ballpark pretzel filled with their best crab dip and topped with melted shredded cheeses. Please share this dish. Sooo good.
Cindi also said we had to try the Seared Ahi. A different twist with a Cajun rub, then seared, accompanied with a cucumber melon seaweed salad, garnished with a wasabi cream.
I was told that Woody’s had some awesome wings. It was a pound of wings your way. Choices of medium, hot, BBQ, Old Bay or Asian. We went with the Asian since those were new to us. Served with celery and our choice of Blue Cheese. They did not disappoint. Well done with a slight sweet taste.
Then, I suggested we order the crab cake platter. Two 6 oz. crab cakes, broiled to a golden brown. The 2 sides chosen were mac and cheese and French fries.
The crab cakes were truly delicious. Best I have had at the Delaware Beaches in a long time. Jumbo lump crabmeat; just a hint of a filling to hold them together; crispy on the outside, and smooth in the middle. The French fries were well seasoned; crispy, as well.
The mac and cheese was so creamy and bubbling hot. Very very good.
We had enjoyed all this food sitting on one of their outside tables. It is a very casual place. Come as you are type. They open 7 days a week, from 11 a.m. until 1 a.m. Credit cards are accepted. Some parking spaces available in front or, otherwise, hunt for street parking.
If you think we ate all that food….Cindi took a doggy bag.
It really was a nice day sharing it with a friend….those moments are priceless!!
And one more thing…my dinner? Well, I had a mango.

Dewey Beach has the perfect location. The town is right between the ocean and the bay, therefore, affording visitors all kinds of water sports and activities. Once you park you can walk from one restaurant or bar to another with no problem. Does it get crowded? That’s a given. Music and dancing venues are located along the strip of Highway One or Coastal Highway.
Being that it is a St. Patrick’s Week-End at the beaches…please check websites or call to get the latest info. Some have music and some don’t, but they are definitely open for the season.
The Starboard is located at 2009 Highway One (Coastal Highway) http://www.thestarboard.com. You know how Delaware loves its “vintage” tags? Well, check the new VIP tag for all of you that want to bypass those long lines. What a clever idea!! Available this week-end.
