Whiskey Beach, Gordons Pond, Activities, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches….Warmer Temperatures, Stress Free Holidays at The Beach, Southern Delaware
Hard to imagine that another year is gone. If you are spending the Holidays at the Delaware Beaches then this week-end was awesome!! Warmer temperatures brought visitors and residents to walk, shop, and dine.
Too much eating brought my son, Michael, and I to Whiskey Beach and Gordons Pond. He told me I had to be more transparent when I mention about a “little” walk. Walking 5 miles was not going to be on his agenda on Saturday. He wanted to be on the beach.
On a beautiful day in Rehoboth Beach you can go north, past the Boardwalk, follow the road all the way to the Park. You can park anywhere at this time of the year. You have 2 choices. You can follow the trail on Gordons Pond, which is so scenic and will connect you with Lewes. Take some water with you. Biking, walking, jogging, that’s what most people do. Camera ready, as well.
We decided to go on Whiskey Beach. To tell you the truth just the sound of the ocean, the gentle breezes, and the solitude of the beach made me realize how lucky I am to live here.
The WWII Towers always standing guard. Never get tired of looking at them.
Whiskey Beach has a colorful past. It has been said that during Pohibition in the 1920’s, this beach was a rendezvous for rumrunners. Isolated and out of the way.
Others say that it was an ideal place for soldiers stationed at Fort Miles during and after WWII to gather and party without being bothered.
It is a great place to unwind and breathe that salt air.
Or, to walk off your Christmas dinner…from Hickman’s Meat Market located at 19730 Coastal Highway in Rehoboth Beach, DE.
Talk to you later….
