I went down to the beach to kick off the Summer season this past Saturday. It was a nice day, although it was pretty cool, with temperatures only in the mid 70's. The water was downright cold, at only 50º, but I went for a swim anyway. There were a few others that were swimming as well.
While there, I picked up some salt water taffy at Dolle's, some new board shorts for the Summer, and had some Thrasher's french fries as well.
First, some pictures from the beach.

The quaint old Sunview Hotel at the end of Wilmington Avenue.
From Thrasher's Fries. Two Delaware institutions, Grotto's pizza and Dolle's salt water taffy, can be seen on the boardwalk.

Some Rehoboth Beach hotels, including the Sands Hotel in the center.
