Dress for Success

My tips for walking the beach in the winter:

FOOT WEAR- sneakers do not work.  I wear hiking shoes (Merrell’s).  They keep my feet warm and dry, and provide better stability when I “hike” over the jetty rocks!

SOCKS- I’m a fan of Smart Wool socks.

PANTS- jeans are like sneakers…worn only when the weather is mild.  Thicker material is best- even if they still have the “mom jeans” look.

TURTLENECK- prefer those with a stretched out neck- to pull up when walking into the wind.

JACKET-  I wear an LL Bean ski jacket that I bought on sale years ago (with a hood, and inside pocket to keep my phone warm).  I like that it’s a bright color to contrast against the gray sand/sky.

HAT/GLOVES- some are warmer than others- depends on weather conditions.  If it’s really brutal, I wear a neck scrunchie that will partially cover my face.

Doesn’t this sound fun…not to mention fashionable??

Actually, it’s totally worth it for the views.  Plus I am motivated by my blog and Twitter followers expecting pictures 😉

Shore Life

 “One of these things is not like the other…”

Members of the Stone Harbor Garden Club hang seashore themed Christmas wreaths at various public areas throughout town.  A nice back drop for my kayaking trip yesterday 😉

Winter Wildlife

My reward for bundling up and walking along the beach every day?  Winter wildlife!

I regularly see peregrine falcons and oystercatchers; and occasionally a snowy owl or bald eagle.

With only the diehard surfers sharing the space, the dolphins glide by close to shore and ride the waves.

I have walked by -but not too close!- to sunbathing seals.

And on Saturday morning, I watched 2 whales slowly breaching above the calm water.  Amazing!

Shoobies in Rehoboth Beach

A quick trip across the bay last week to Rehoboth Beach.  We contributed to the local economy with shopping, golf, and dinner at downtown restaurants.

I find that we describe other beach communities by what we know here.  So it seems logical (to me) to describe Rehoboth Beach as having “the vibe of Cape May, mixed with areas of Strathmere and old time Sea Isle”.
