Kayaking this morning on Little Assawoman Bay, at the edge of the salt marshes, was calm and hot 🥵🔥☀️. But we spent time with friends and observed this unique ecosystem. We saw millions of mussels clinging to the edge of the salt grasses, some blue crabs, many (and many dead) horseshoe crabs, several osprey, plenty of minnows, and jumping fish... We had a fish almost jump onto our kayak! Great way to start the day #fenwickislandstatepark #fenwickisland #delaware #kayaking
☀️Sound on! ☀️ Magic morning ☀️ BethanyBeach ☀️

We took little baby Fritz to the beach today! He was a little scared at first but actually paddled when I put him in deep water. #meetfritz #piebalddachshund #fenwickislandstatepark #summertime #delawarebeaches #love
If you’re driving on Route 1 between Fenwick Island and Cape Henlopen in Delaware, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll pass one of the many World War II watch towers on the Eastern Shore. These historic landmarks have a fascinating history of the preparations made for potential enemy invasion and U-boat sightings. To learn more about the towers and the restoration process underway, visit restorethetower.org
