DELAWARE BEACH RESORTS
ABBY KAPR, BALTIMORE SUN
REPORTER'S OUTLOOK
The town leaders of
Delaware's string of beach resorts have two things in common,
first, they shudder at the
thought of dealing with crowds drawn each summer to their
southerly neighbor, Ocean
City.
Second, they are well
pleased with their smaller scaled middle class resorts.
The idea for each of these
towns, from Fenwick Island to Lewes is simple, a quaint
family resort, clean
beaches, clean boardwalks, clean sidewalks.
Rehoboth Beach, largest
of Delaware's beach towns, attracts 50,000 visitors on a weekend to
Ocean City's 250,000.
In Lewes, ice cream
parlors attract as many people evenings as do it's night
clubs.
Bethany Beach
entertainment is more classical music than rock & roll.
Fall season reduced
rentals, end of season sidewalk sales are common affairs. Museums,
art
galleries, historical
buildings, remain open, but with shorter hours.
