Leisure Point, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

We have been a bit slow about posting, but we are going to backtrack and post some photos and info. - better late than never!   The next spot was Rehoboth Beach - one of our favourite places.  This time we tried a different spot - between the no power, sand and bugs at Cape Henlopen (Still one of the most beautiful places) or the parking lot atmosphere of Delaware Seashore, we were looking for something more inbetween.  

All the pontoon boats at Leisure Point

So that brought us to Leisure Point, Millsboro, Delaware - about 1/2 hour away from the beach.

A great, clean park about 1/2 from the Beaches – Rehoboth or Cape Henlopen. We like to be a little closer, but this park has a lot of seasonals who are there for the summer or retirement. Super friendly people – who told us what restaurants to go to – Nicola's Pizza, Big Fish Seafood ( next time!) . Nicola's was great pizza where all the locals go at the beach. 

Love the strip of stores and lively action at Rehoboth Beach. Lots of fishermen at Leisure Point and tonnes of Pontoon boats – quite the life for retirement!

Went into Cape Henlopen – probably our favourite day here – did biking along the trails – climbed up the lookout tower at Fort Miles again.   We love the landscape here – rugged, windswept, sandy.

The waves at the beach were huge! Unswimmable for kids – but that was just the day.

 

 Then went to their fishing pier, where Trent spent a few more hours – with no throwbacks, no keepers.  Hopefully our luck will change!   Others were pulling up some smaller flouder and striped bass. 

Cape Henlopen Pier - never give up!

Cape Henlopen Pier - always a great place to hang out - even on a cloudy day!

 Last day, just hung at the pool here, and the boys went down to the crabbing pier – met other teenagers and were gone for hours – 3 crabs – ate them that night – lots of work for little meat.  What a fun, super place.  

Crabbing at the pier - a great way to meet people!
