Kid’s Day, Saturday, July 13, 2013, Tour the Delaware Lighthouses, Harbor of Refuge, Delaware East End Breakwater Lighthouse, Delaware River & Bay Lighthouse Foundation, Lewes, Delaware, Special Day for Children, Delaware Beaches
Saturday, July 13th, is a special day for children 6 years and older that would love to walk in the steps of a lighthouse keeper! Children will be able to tour the Delaware East End Breakwater Lighthouse, and get close to the Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse.
The scheduled tours by the Delaware River & Bay Lighthouse Foundation are for children with a minimum age of 12, so, this is indeed a unique day to see these marvels of the 19th century, which are the first structures of their kind to be built in the western hemisphere.
Fare for children 6-12 years old is $25 per child. Fare for 12 and above is $35. Limit one child per adult. Children must be in the direct, active supervision of that adult all the time. Departure time is 9 a.m.
Tours depart from the pier located behind the Cape May-Lewes Ferry Terminal in Lewes, Delaware. Free parking is available in the Foot Passenger Lot.
Reservations are recommended as tickets are limited to 24 per tour. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to departure time as safety briefing is required before visitors board the launch.
Life jackets are provided and must be worn. No sandals or open-toe shoes are allowed.

Note: I have taken the tour and recommend it. One way is to see them from afar, but up close…they are magnificent!! Today, as I rode the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, I once again had time to admire the Harbor of Refuge as the ferry went by.
