I cannot believe that we are at the end of the summer season at the Delaware and Maryland Beaches. That does not mean that we, locals and natives, go to sleep now. Some of us might think that the best season is yet to come. Yes, September, October, and November bring so much to this area. You will see as the weeks go by what the Second Season will bring.
But, this week-end these are some of the activities going on, besides sitting on the beach, walking the boardwalk, shopping, etc. etc.

Perfect weather this Easter week-end is attracting many visitors. I went to downtown Rehoboth today and was so surprised to see it so crowded and finding parking was a little tricky. But, it did feel like summer; kids running around, dogs all over the place, the smell of french fries and the buckets of popcorn. Best of all, we were not wearing coats.
If you ask me what to do in Rehoboth, the first time you visit our beaches, I would have to tell you to visit the Rehoboth Beach Museum. It is also the home of the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society. It will give you insight in what this community is all about.
The Museum is offering a special reduced admission rate for Friday, April 2nd through Sunday, April 4th. On those days admission for a group of up to 2 adults and 2 children will be only $5 and each child will receive an egg with candy inside. All children under 12 are free, but must be accompanied by an adult.
The special rate honors a Rehoboth Beach tradition from the days when the Cape Henlopen Lighthouse was still standing. Families would trek to the lighthouse, bringing picnic lunches and rolling eggs down the great sand dune around the lighthouse. The Museum invites you to go and see a replica of the lighthouse, and learn about the boardwalk and shipwrecks. Vintage bathing suits and post cards are on display.
The Rehoboth Beach Museum is located at 511 Rehoboth Ave., near the traffic circle with the lighthouse and the Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center. Parking is free. Museum hours are Friday, 10 – 4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 11 – 3 p.m. More info? Please call 302-227-7310.
