No words are necessary to explain the following photo. It has been warm at the Delaware Beaches and it is the end of December!! Thrashers French Fries with Salt & Vinegar. The best grub on the Boardwalk.
On the corner Dolle’s was also open selling what they have been selling for years, popcorn and taffy among other favorites.
On Rt. 1 the outlets were packed and the highway was definitely busy. In Downtown Rehoboth Beach it was like any other summer day at the beach, except that even though people were wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts, I did not see any bathing suits. Other than that people were on the beach, walking the Boardwalk, pets were out, and life was good today.
The Winners for the 201 Holiday Windown Decorating Contest in Downtown Rehoboth Beach have been announced by Rehoboth Beach Maint Street (RBMS). All 3 businesses received a 1/4 Page Color Cape Gazette Ad
First Place was The Pelican Loft located at 143 Rehoboth Avenue.
Second Place was Mod Cottage located at 246-A Rehoboth Avenue.
And Third Place was Jane & Georgie, located at 419 Rehoboth Avenue.
Walking the Boardwalk is a past time that residents of Rehoboth Beach love to do. The Boardwalk is one mile long. It is relaxing any time during the day, but I do like it towards the end of the day. Meeting Sharon was a surprised so we kept on walking. Felt soooo good. Love to see that owners are enjoying the homes at the beach. This is a great time for Rehoboth Beach and New Year’s will be again crowded.
Have a great week. TTYL

So many visitors come to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, year round. Rehoboth was incorporated in 1873 to create a Christian seaside resort. The railroad was extended in 1878 to Rehoboth Beach, therefore, bringing more visitors and businesses to this seaside town. In 1879 the town was renamed “The Rehoboth Beach Association”. The population has grown over the years. Plenty of summer visitors and part time residents increase the population significantly .
During Christmas I love grabbing something to eat in town with a friend….come to think of it I just did that with my friend, Jody. Stopping at Dogfish Head on Rehoboth Avenue for one of my favorite salads….their pub salad topped with grilled salmon and a delicious dressing is not to be missed. It looks good and it tasted even better.
If you decided to visit Rehoboth Beach during the Holidays you will find the town looking more beautiful than ever. Tiny lights cover the trees in town. The Boardwalk is a mile long. It was quiet when Jody and I were walking, no one around.
The big iconic Dolle’s sign remind visitors that you are at the beach!!

I have so many photos of the Delaware Beaches….inland bays, ocean, beaches….the Indial River Inlet. I never get tired of looking at them.
It was about 4:45 p.m. and the sun was setting. I went back to see that gorgeous Christmas Tree. It is going to be so festive, here in Rehoboth Beach when Friday, November 28th, the festivities officially opening the Holiday Season will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a Sing-Along.
The lighting ceremony will start at 7:00 p.m. Thanks to Harriet Magee of Rehoboth Beach for her generous donation of the tree. It is truly what a Christmas Tree should look like.
Today it was so warm. The beach at dusk was beautiful.
The Boardwalk is taking a well deserved rest…..all decorated for the Christmas…
The Holidays are very popular here in Rehoboth Beach…plenty of visitors will come this Second Season to shop, dine and kick back. For those of us living at the beach, the ocean offers you a sense of well being. Love it and do not take it for granted.

Taking a drive through Rehoboth Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware…it was quiet and peaceful…I like it that way. 36 degrees on Christmas Eve. Love the Christmas Tree, right by the Bandstand with the award winning Boardwalk and the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop. Priceless!!
A Christmas Poem written by Harvey Ehrlich in 1992. Some years I have posted the poem completely…tonight is just this:
‘Twas the night before Christmas and Santa’s a wreck…How to live in a world that’s politically correct?
Something special was needed, a gift he might give to all without angering the left or right,
A Gift that would satisfy, with no indecision,
Each group or people, every religion;
Every ethnicity, every hue,
Everyone, everywhere…even You.
So here is that gift, it’s price beyond worth…
“May You and Your Loved ones Enjoy Peace on Earth”.
Merry Christmas y Feliz Navidad.

Local shops, independent owners are what Downtown Rehoboth Beach is all about. You stop, you chat, and you might even become friends. Downtown Rehoboth Beach is so walkable; only one square mile. At this time of the year, the town looks great. The lights are beautiful and the merchants have gone all out to make sure that you have a great shopping experience…Holiday Sales!!
I have stopped a couple of times in the past month at Crysti. This shop is located at 33 Baltimore Avenue; one block north of Rehoboth Avenue and one block west of the Boardwalk. It is in the courtyard of “The Shops at 33 Baltimore Avenue”. Tel. 302-227-2874. Website? http://www.crysti-rehoboth.com.
Crysti is celebrating 30 years in Rehoboth Beach. This shop has seen Rehoboth Beach turn into a year round resort. It did not use to be that way. It was a seasonal kind of town. Over the years Rehoboth Beach has done a great job in bringing the visitors during the summer and then bringing them back for a second season. Full of festivals, entertainment and a dining destination, as well.
Visitors love to shop in Delaware…tax free shopping. And the ones that are making this area their permanent home, are enjoying low property taxes.
If you are in Rehoboth this week-end, Crysti is a must stop shop. The entire store is 25% off, including Brighton. This holiday sale will be through Sunday, as well. Gift wrapping is also available.
And during the week-end, they will be serving cocoa and cookies. Definitely, stop and say hello.
Let me introduce you to Joyce and Crysti. Joyce is on the left and she is the Manager. Crysti, on the right is the owner.
Crysti is casual….that’s the best part of living at the beach. The relaxed attitude at our beaches is reflected in a lot of the clothing and accessories carried in many of our unique shops. At Crysti, you will find sweaters, scarves, jeans, jewelry, and bags. Plenty of gifts, as well.
 
 
 
 
Really, do stop by….the merchandise changes but their personal service and attention is always the same….great! Have a nice week-end!! The weather will be warm for this time of the year at the Beaches!
