It was 5:00 p.m., Rehoboth Beach, Quiet, Chilly, and Still; It’s February in the Nation’s Summer Capital, The Second Season, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware

Won't have to worry about it for some time. Water temperature is 40 degrees.

I love going to downtown Rehoboth Beach at the end of the day.  Being that it was a holiday week-end, I decided to check it out and see what was going on.

It was 5:00 p.m. and 38 degrees…yikes!!

Not much going on…the sea gull still perched on that post.  Does not matter how many times I take a picture, there is always one of them there.  Checking for French fries, I am sure.  They’ll have to wait a bit longer, though.

I am posting these pictures because it is hard to believe that this 1 square mile looks like this in February.  Quite a different scene pretty soon. For all of you that come to Rehoboth Beach at the height of the season…you know how hard it is to find parking.  Plenty now and for the next month or so.  So, come on down and enjoy Rehoboth in its Second Season.

Not a person on the beach.  The water looked beautiful.  Just a tiny wave by the edge.

Down by the south side of the Boardwalk the scene was pretty much the same.  The beaches are taking a well deserved rest.  Hurricanes, n’or easters, snow…I hope that is all gone now.

Looking north from the south end of the Boardwalk.

The end of the day at Silver Lake; the ducks and geese were on the other side.

We, the residents of Rehoboth Beach, enjoy this solitude of the Second Season because in a couple of months…….the gates will open and off to a 2013 Summer in Rehoboth Beach.  Looking forward to it…talk to you later.

It’s Snowing in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware…A Frigid, Gray Day, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware

Is anybody home?

The scene is so completely different from the summer months.  Don’t get me wrong, there is still plenty to do in Rehoboth Beach.  January and February are the quietest months.  Locals love it at this time of the year.  A well deserved rest for many.

I enjoy checking downtown Rehoboth Beach at the end of the day.  It has been really pretty this past week.  We have gone from balmy to frigid temperatures in a matter of days.  Snowing as I write this post.

Took off to check how Rehoboth looked as snow started to pick up.

For a moment I wondered where everyone had gone.  Looking north on the Boardwalk.  And, then south.  Hard to see the Boardwalk so empty, right?

There are 3 lakes in the Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach area.  These fresh water lakes are the closest to the ocean anywhere in the country.  Lake Comegys is in Dewey Beach.

Lake Gerar looked like this today; it is only about a block and a half from the ocean. It was so quiet.

I love stopping at Silver Lake.  You never know how many birds you are going to find.  The scenery changes from day to day, depending at what time of the day you visit.

On the northside of the Boardwalk the seagulls were staying put, and the snow was sticking.

The beach always looks beautiful from any angle.  These photos were taken from the Boardwalk where Rehoboth Avenue meets the Atlantic Ocean.

For the ones that come to Rehoboth Beach only in the summer…it’s about time you visit during the Second Season!!    A little R & R is good for everyone!!  Talk to you later.
