The beach was the place to be on this scorching day at the Delaware Beaches. So, my choice of beach today was Tower Road located south of Dewey Beach, Delaware….it is a Delaware Seashore State Park beach.
Out of state cars are $8, and cars with Delaware tags are $4. This is a particular nice beach, with plenty of parking. The concession offers French Fries, Hot Dogs, and plenty of the grub we all love at the beach. Two of the WWII Towers stand as usual….these historic sentinels are always watching.
At the end of the ramp I noticed the beach wheelchair. It is free for anyone who needs help on the beach.
The Delaware State Parks offer many events and fun activities for the whole family. On Wednesdays, through August 15th, is Kayaking Station Cove at 9:30 a.m. On Thursdays, you can catch a boat tour, at 10 a.m. until Noon, where you can explore the Inland Bays. The cost is $20. If you don’t want to wake up that early, then, they have a Rehoboth Bay Sightseeing Tour from 1 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. This tour is $19. More info? Please call 302-227-6991, or, visit http://www.destateparks.com.
The beach at Tower Road is very wide. I used to always park on the north side, but, today, Susie and I decided to just sit in the thick of things. Please remember to take your sandals on very hot days because the sand gets very hot. And, if you do not have an umbrella, they also have them for rent at $12 per day.
Sitting next to the lifeguards we could see that today was a very uneventful day. So, a little weight lifting when the temperature soars to 97 degrees was just the thing to do.
It was such a typical day at the beach….nothing different. The sand bucket looked the same, the kids were digging, some were fishing, and this seagull was the perfect scavenger.
SUNDAY, JULY 21st – THIRD ANNUAL MARITIME HERITAGE FESTIVAL – The festival will take place at the Historic Indian River Life-Saving Station from Noon until 4 p.m.
The Indian River Life-Saving Station is located south of Dewey Beach and two miles north of the Indian River Inlet Bridge on Rt. 1 (Coastal Highway). Free admission. For more information, please contact 302-227-6991.
There will be crafts, games, music, and demonstrations throughout the whole afternoon when you can learn about the history of the Delaware coast.
At 1 p.m., a Breeches Buoy Rescue Demo will take place. You might even be able to see a modern day rescue with a mock helicopter rescue, performed by the U.S. Coast Guard.
At 1:30 p.m. a live performance by Four Sheets to the Wind, an authentic sea shanty duo.
There will be exhibitors and activities like scrimshaw, interacting with diamondback terrapins, “sailor tattoo” face painting, colonial games, and scavenger hunts. Food will be available, as well, and provided by Hammerheads Dockside.
Have a great week-end!! Relax…you are at the Beach!
