We had 2 days off after Christmas, and wanted to take a quick get away. Â Thought about venturing into Philadelphia or New York City to see a show…but that seemed like too much effort.
So we decided on a comfortable and easy escape- Rehoboth Beach. Â A quick ferry ride from Cape May, and an off season beach town atmosphere.
Their downtown reminds me of a mix of JFK Boulevard in Sea Isle City, and 96th Street in Stone Harbor. Â And like Cape May, Â Rehoboth Beach is able to draw a crowd, allowing most shops and restaurants to thrive even in December.
Oh, and did I mention the outlets? Â 😉
Now back in our sleepy beach town…which suits us perfectly fine!
The Golden Hour
Winters by the beach tend to be monochromatic: the sky, sand, and ocean in various shades of gray.
So a colorful sunrise (or sunset) is especially appreciated. Â This morning, the view was beautiful as I walked down the path to the beach. Â An hour later, clouds moved in and the gray returned. Temperatures are fairly mild…so I can’t complain 😉
