Rehoboth Beach is a great town to walk, jog and just sit on one of the many benches outlining the award-winning Boardwalk.  During the summer months this Boardwalk is packed, but on The Second Season, it is a great place to relax and take in that salty ocean air.

Funland is close for the season, but Playland is open!!

Part of the fun whille on the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk is the “boardwalk grub”.  Those foods that scream “ice cream”.  These ladies were having so much fun and happy to pose, as welll.

At the water’s edge the fun continued.

And on the beach, some were walking their dogs (you can do that now) or beachcombing.

From the north side of the Boardwalk the WWII Towers were clearly seen.

Plenty of weddings take place on the beach….and yesterday, as the day started to wind down….the guests were patiently waiting.

I had to get back to my car….have a good one!!

Destination? Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, The Second Season, Pumpkins, Gourds, Jams, Tomato Sunshine, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware

I can see why there is so much traffic when the height of the season is long gone!!  The Second Season at the Delaware Beaches brings gorgeous weather, restaurant specials, events, and no parking meters!!

Today is another one of those days, just like yesterday when I took off for the north side of the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk.  It was about 8:30 a.m. and I was meeting Alice.  A few were already getting ready for a relaxing morning of fishing; others were walking the Boardwalk.  The Boardwalk is one mile long each way.  This is an award winning Boardwalk, originally built in 1873!!   It is the perfect place to renew in the a.m…..the salt air, the ocean breezes, and good company.  Locals touch each end of the Boardwalk to make sure they have accomplished their walk.

A weekly stop at Tomato Sunshine is a favorite, as well.  At this time of the year,…”produce great pumpkins, the pies will follow later.”  The seasons bring so many colorful changes to Tomato Sunshine.  It is located at 19791 Coastal Highway.  If you are leaving Rehoboth Beach, you will see it on your right.  If you are coming into Rehoboth, it will be on your left.  They are open, at this time of the year, Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.  Tel. 302-226-2533.  Website?  http://www.tomatosunshine.com.

They have jams, fruit, vegetables, and fresh bread, besides all the pumpkins, as well.

Tomato Sunshine is ready for Fall.  Check out what they have, don’t miss it.  It is a happy place!!  So, if you are looking for a specific type of pumpkin…go no further.  Ernie might even tell you how to cook some of them.

Have a Good One!!
