OK, I’m bored…
OK, so you’ve come to coastal Delaware to go on a beach vacation. Now you’re tired of the beach and of looking at all the hot girls on the beach (if you’re me, that would NEVER happen), and you want to do something else. Not to worry…there’s plenty to do in southern Delaware. But for me to partake in any of the following, it had better either be really cold or really raining.
For your consideration…
Dogfish Head Brewery in Milton – the brewery is now open and they do tours of it (including samples) Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. If I’m not mistaken, there is sampling during the tour. And then of course, you’ll have to buy some Dogfish gear (shirts, hats, etc.) and some beer to take home. For more information on the tours, call them at 302-684-1000 or visit www.dogfish.com
Dover Downs – home of two NASCAR races per year plus horse racing, casino games and fine dining (and you folks that know me know that I love to eat). For more information and a schedule of events, visit www.doverdowns.com.
Harrington Raceway and Casino, Harrington – formerly Midway Slots and Harrington Raceway, this is the site of the Delaware State Fair as well. They are still online at www.midwayslots.com.
State Parks – Sussex County is home to Cape Henlopen and Trap Pond State Parks, as well as Fenwick Island and Delaware Seashore State Parks. Camping is available in some of the parks, and others are day-use. Visit www.destateparks.com for more information and a program schedule.
Rehoboth Beach Bandstand – many nights, something is going on at the bandstand. And the bandstand is all new. Visit www.rehobothbeachbandstand.com for a schedule of events.
Dewey Beach – the PAR-TAY beach just down the road. Many of the bars and venues do have concerts throughout the summer season. Visit www.deweybeachlife.com for schedules and other events.
This is not nearly an exhaustive list…there’s plenty to do in southern Delaware. Then, of course, there’s Ocean City about a half-hour away…
Enjoy !
