The Sun
by: Elizabeth Ann Wares
With summer just around the corner, how are you doing with your vacation
plans? Have you ever considered visiting the Delaware Beaches? Beside
being known as the "First State", the Rehoboth Beach area
in Delaware has also been referred to as "The Nation's Summer Capital".
This pouplar and fun beach resort is located on the Atlantic Coast.
Because it's only only two hours from Washington, D.C., Baltimore, MD,
Philadelphia, PA, and the South Jersey area, you will enjoy a vacation
destination that offers a calmness and welcoming feeling, in a relaxing,
slower paced family atmosphere.
Accommodations run the gamut and include anything from quaint bed and
breakfasts to fine hotels and everything in between. Apartments, condominiums,
cottages, and private homes are just a few of the options to choose
from. The local realtors offer services to assist you in finding the
ideal lodging for your stay.
There is an abundance of food choices. Whether you decide to eat at
your hotel or go exploring, each eatery has their own specialty. Menus
range from the local catch of the day to vegetarian. The area is also
well known for it's shopping opportunities. There are many local artisans,
as well as factory outlets where you can really stretch your vacation
dollars.
Another thing that Rehoboth Beach is famous for is its mile-long boardwalk.
Many people come down just to walk the boards and watch the ocean waves.
You can also bike ride or jog or just hang out and people-watch. If
you are lucky enough you can catch a glimpse of dolphins, porpoises,
and other wildlife, such as pelicans. Other activities which are great
for the kids as well as adults include arcades, musical entertainment,
miniature golf and the many festivals that schedule Rehoboth Beach for
their venues.
For those of you who are into more natural surroundings, there is Cape
Henlopen State Park close by in Lewes, Delaware The open shoreline of
Cape Henlopen State Park is perfectly suited for swimming, crabbing,
fishing, walking or just soaking up the sun. The highest sand dune between
Cape Hatteras and Cape Cod is located on this beach. This "great
dune" towers more than 80 feet above the shoreline.
There is a restored World War II Observation Tower, if you are inclined,
where the public is able to see the area from a bird's eye view. The
story behind the tower is fascinating. Bird lovers will want to keep
an eye out for ospreys and hawks. The protected piping plover and bald
eagles have also been spotted occasionally.
Finding another location that matches this resort area's variety and
charm would be a challenging task, because it really has everything
you would want or need to have a fun and relaxing vacation. Do yourself
a favor and visit"The Nation's Summer Capital". You'll be
glad you did!
