Shorebreak, Casual Men’s Clothing, Historic Lewes, Delaware, Polos, Sportshirts, Hats, Sunglasses, Gifts, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware

I remember it well.  It was last Sunday when the temperatures were in the 50s.  Historic Lewes is pretty year round.  But, on that day it was just amazing.  People were outside, enjoying what visitors come here for; blue skies, the quaint towns, our beaches, our shops and our restaurants.

I decided to visit Josh.  He is the owner of Shorebreak, located at 115 Savannah Rd., Lewes, Delaware.  Tel. 302-6450-8488.  Website?  http://www.shopshorebreak.com. I visited him when he first started the store and now, after a couple of years in business, he has found success in his hometown.  Yes, he is a local guy!!

There are not that many men shops in our area, so it is great to showcase the ones that offer that casual type of clothing that go hand in hand with our relaxed way of living at the beach.

Shorebreak opens Thursday through Monday; 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.  During the summer season, they are open every day.

You will find lots of easy comfortable fabrics, clothes with a light and relaxed feel.

At the present time, you will also find a few sales going on.  Is that time of the year.

Some of the brands that you will find at Shorebreak are Southern Tide (polos and sportshirts), Kuhala (Hawaiian type shirts), Matix, Cutter & Buck, Costa del Mar (sunglasses), Sanuk & Reef (footwear) and Woolrich.

Shorebreak carries a line of apparel by another local guy, Corey  Schab.  It is call L Town, which is short for the town of Lewes, DE.  Their products are eco friendly.  The line “symbolizes the relaxed and “chill” life of growing up in a small coastal community”.

Not only does the shop offer clothing but they do also have gifts.

Shorebreak has online shopping, and free shipping for orders of $100 or more.  Just visit http://www.shopshorebreak.com

Stop by….Josh will be more than happy to meet you.  He really is very friendly!!

Have a good one!!
