aintaining a successful business for over 20 years is an absolute accomplishment, and Park Place Jewelers’ owners and Jill Todd, Sophia & Jill Ferrante Todd Ferrante’s commitment to selling exceptional jewelry and delivering outstanding customer service was their motto in 1996 when it all began.

“Jewelry has ties to so many of life’s major events – birthdays, engagements, weddings, anniversaries,” Jill said. “Making good friends and family from many of our customers over the last 20 years is the best part of business.”

Park Place Jewelers is known for offering seaside stylings to locals and tourists alike, but over the years it has grown into the premier destination for nautical treasures from designers Denny Wong and Steven Douglas, diamond engagement rings by Simon G, Tacori and Coast Diamond and everything in-between. Its beautiful wall exhibits and display cases reveal bracelets, necklaces, engagement rings, wedding bands and watches, in a variety of finishes and textures, that feature precious or semi-precious stones, from Larimar to Tanzanite.

Park Place Jewelers is the exclusive dealer of Alex and Ani® in the Ocean City area. Alex and Ani® bangles start at $28. Their beautiful handmade bangles are made in the USA and are intended to empower the wearer and reflect the unique qualities of the individual. The Summer Collection features bangles, necklaces, and rings with a seahorse, shell, crab, and sand dollar – all to help you keep a piece of Ocean City with you forever.

Want an Ocean City charm for your PANDORA® bracelet? Park Place Jewelers has a collection of custom PANDORA® Ocean City charms for capturing those Ocean City memories. New to the collection is a jumping white marlin, turtle, and starfish in an assortment of colors and designs.

Continuing with their love of Ocean City, their distinctive OC Hook® jewelry began as a single bracelet 15 years ago and has evolved into a phenomenal assortment that now includes rings, earrings, pendants, and more. Check out the latest creation, collectible jewelry pieces with Ocean City sand available in sterling silver bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and rings.

Shop their two locations on the Boardwalk between 2nd and 3rd Streets under the Park Place Hotel and also in the White Marlin Mall in West Ocean City, next to Bed Bath & Beyond. Visit them online at ParkPlaceJewelers.com and on Facebook at Park Place Jewelers Ocean City.

Worcester

County

Best Paddling Town - Canoe & Kayak Magazine

Worcester County is Maryland’s only seaside county. Although best known for Ocean City’s sandy beaches, the county offers a wide range of unique attractions, from historic towns to lazy rivers to Assateague Island State Park and National Seashore. Worcester County also has the best birding in Maryland, more than a dozen championship golf courses, and 100 miles of marked bicycle trails on flat country roads. The Pocomoke River, which has been designated a wild and scenic river by the state, is a centerpiece of the county. Its surrounding wetlands serve as sanctuary for more than 127 species of birds and waterfowl.

Sightings of rare birds such as the pilliated woodpecker and bald eagle are common in the swampy reaches of the river. Canoe, kayak and standup paddle board rentals allow paddlers to get even closer to the wildlife and the bald cypress swamps. There’s several water trails in the coastal bays and Pocomoke River varying in length but all relatively easy.

At the county’s southern tip, Pocomoke City is a place where river life is celebrated. Visitors can picnic among the water lilies or walk along a nature trail in Cypress Park. Pocomoke City’s commercial district features a wide range of 19th and early 20th

century architecture, including the Delmarva Discovery Center and the art deco Marva Theater.

Other attractions include the Costen House Museum, home of the city’s first mayor, and the Sturgis One Room School House Museum. The big news this summer is the addition of an otter exhibit opening at the Delmarva Discovery Center. The Center is located downtown, right along the river (where else?), the Discovery Center focuses on river ecology; the history of the Pocomoke River, including shipbuilding, trading and fishing; and local Native American history. There are lots of hands on fun for kids of all ages. Afterwards, grab a bite at the Riverside Grill, located on the water next to the Discovery Center.

Snow Hill, the county seat, is a collage of handsome churches and manicured Colonial and Victorian-style homes. A walking tour brochure guides visitors through the historic district, filled with 100 houses more than 100 years old. Just five miles up the road, Furnace Town is the home of the National Historical Mechanical Engineering Landmark- the Nassawango Iron Furnace. If it sounds intimidating, it isn’t. Families in particular will enjoy a relaxing and educational visit to a reconstructed 19th century

Ocean City Boardwalk Top Ten Boardwalks in America - National Geographic Traveler 15

village featuring the iron furnace, a print shop, a 19th century organic garden, woodworker and brooms and looms. Perhaps the best attraction is the river with paddling events, trails and wildlife. Not surprisingly, it has been dubbed the (next) Best Paddling Town by Canoe & Kayak Magazine.

Just a few miles inland, Berlin proudly sports a restored downtown, filled with interesting buildings and delicious shops and restaurants.

Berlin was recently named by Budget Travel as the Coolest Small Town in America (2014). Berlin has many structures on either the National Register of Historic Places or on the Maryland State Register.

Visitors can explore downtown’s historic charm on foot or by a horsedrawn carriage ride which operates daily throughout the summer.

The downtowns of Berlin and Snow Hill are both designated

by Maryland as “Arts and Entertainment Districts.” As defined

by Americans for the Arts, such districts must be in mixed-use areas where there is a high concentration of arts and cultural facilities. To show off their best A & E features, Snow Hill hosts First Friday-Arts on the River and Berlin hosts Second Friday Art Strolls each month. Both open their galleries in the evening, allowing visitors to see the work of local and regional artists, and in 16

some cases, to meet the artists at special receptions. There’s also dancing (and music) in the streets and at various venues around the towns.

Wild horses can’t drag people away from Assateague Island, Maryland’s only ocean park. Its features include sandy beaches, salt marshes, maritime forests, coastal bays and, of course, those wild ponies. A unique treasure of

Assateague Island, visitors can observe them wandering the beaches, trails, campgrounds and marsh areas.

Both the State Park and the National Seashore offer ranger-guided programs that encourage visitors of all ages to learn more about the barrier island environment and its wildlife. The island offers canoe, kayak and bike rentals at the end of Bayside Drive.

OC HEALTH

HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN O.C.

Breathe in the fresh salt-tinged air to your heart’s content and bask in warm vitamin-D laced sunshine while taking an invigorating walk in soothing sand with lapping waves over your sore feet.

Vitamin D research is all the craze. Some doc’s swear we don’t get enough and a key source is, you guessed it, the sun! When the sun’s UV-B rays touch the skin, our bodies naturally make Vitamin D. But moderation comes into play here. Skin cancer is nothing to play around with so don’t stretch that 15 minutes into a 1 hour siesta in the full sun. Be careful to cover up and use sun tan lotion.

At Boardwalk Segways, they believe everyone should be able to create a new Ocean City memory on the boardwalk. Mobility scooters are a fun and easy way to travel the whole 37 blocks that make up the boardwalk without getting yourself exhausted. They are suitable for most ages and skill levels and are an eco- friendly way to travel and tour. For those with mobility challenges, Boardwalk Segways also offers 22 22

wheelchairs and power-scooter rentals, as well as strollers for touring the attractions accessible from the boardwalk. New to the line-up, Boardwalk Segways now offers beach wheelchairs, so everyone can have the full Ocean City experience!

But when you do suffer from an unexpected injury or illness, West Ocean City Injury & Illness Center invites you to come and receive immediate treatment so you can get back to the beach or your daily routine.

OCEAN CITY’S World-Famous Boardwalk Delights All Ages!

O

cean City’s Landmark Boardwalk is a threemile promenade by the sea whose timeless appeal has been attracting vacationers for generations.

A traditional wooden walkway, bordered on the east

by Ocean City’s beautiful beach, offers spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean. To the west, miles of unique eateries, one-of-a-kind shops and amusements and accommodations in which family members of all ages will enjoy.

As you approach the southern end of the boardwalk, the smells of caramel popcorn and cotton candy will awaken your senses as you notice enjoy an exciting line-up of amusement rides, games and arcades. From the antique carousel to a thrilling roller coaster ride, the attractions beckon all ages. For those looking to enjoy a spectacular view of the island, try the Ferris wheel on the pier, then test your skills at the many games found along both the southern end of the Boardwalk and pier.

During your stroll down the Boardwalk you will enjoy a kaleidoscope of colors and sounds as street performers entertain the public and kites of all shapes and sizes soar overhead. Free concerts occupy the beach on 24

| OCEAN CITY 2016

North Division Street, just steps from the Boardwalk, every Wednesday evening during July and August.

At the Boardwalk’s northern end at 27th Street, free movies and the Family Beach Olympics are held on the beach on selected evenings during the summer.

Ocean City residents and visitors are not the only ones who think Ocean City is the best place in the world to be, as the Ocean City Boardwalk has drawn numerous accolades over the years. Sherman’s Travel named it one of the “10 Best U.S. Boardwalks” in 2010. Reader’s Digest named it “One of America’s “Best Seaside Strolls” in 2006. USA Today ranked Ocean City “One of the 10 Great Places to have Fun on the Boardwalk.”

The Travel Channel noted it as “One of the “Best Boardwalks in America,” and just last year Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice ranked Ocean City’s Boardwalk one of the “Top 10 Amusement Parks and Boardwalk in the U.S.” If you are looking for another way to experience the sights and sounds of Ocean City’s Boardwalk, hop aboard the Boardwalk tram. The tram operates from the Inlet to 27th Street, a distance of almost three miles.

The Ocean City Boardwalk is certainly an experience that we hope all of our visitors enjoy!

BIG FISH CLASSIC W

ith the Gulf Stream funneling towards the Md & Delaware beaches, ocean fishing brings bigeye and yellowfin tuna just a short sail from shore, as are bluefish & wahoo. Other great catches include mako, mahi-mahi, white marlin, blue marlin & even an occasional sailfish.

The last weekend in July will host the third annual Huk Big Fish Classic. This locally sponsored tournament raised almost $20,000 for local Charities while paying out over $200,000 in cash prizes!

The Big Fish Classic enjoyed world and national exposure last year as they were able to reach over 800,000 people through various media promotions.

The tournament was featured on the Sportsman Channel and will air on NBC Sports later this year on their title sponsors award nominee TV show, “Money Fish.”

In 2015 the Huk Big Fish classic was a huge success bringing in record numbers on the scales and spectators at the docks. The first place payout was over $95,500 and went to the "Pumpin Hard" fishing team who caught a 276.5 pound Big Eye Tuna.

This winning 73 inch Big Eye Tuna was the largest 26

tournament tuna caught on the east coast in 2015...a True “Big Fish!”

However the true winners were the two local Charities who received over $19,000 of support. The tournament sponsors; Brian Roberts, Sean Welsh, brothers, Stephen and John Lewis from M.R. Ducks chose Diakonia (a local shelter and resource for those who are homeless or in crisis) and Coastal Hospice ( a private nonprofit community program that provides traditional hospice services) After receiving great feedback from anglers, captains, and spectators at the scales, the sponsors have decided to add several changes & categories. They have added more stringer categories & are allowing teams to fish up to 125 nautical miles from the Ocean City sea buoy. Also, due to the abundance of White and Blue Marlin bites in 2015, they are adding The Huk Billfish Release Level!

The 3rd Annual Huk Big Fish Classic fishing tournament will be held July 29-31, 2016 at the Talbot Street Pier in Ocean City, Maryland. For official rules and regulations visit: www.bigfishclassic.com

Tony Luke’s menu now includes chicken cheesesteaks, seasoned french fries, hamburgers and more.

Tony Luke’s has twice been hailed by Gourmet Magazine for quality and innovation, renowned by GQ Magazine, The New York Times and is a member of Philly Mag’s Hall of Fame.

The Ocean City Beach Patrol wants you to have a safe and enjoyable stay at the beach. The following safety tips can help you enjoy your vacation.

“Keep your feet in the sand, until the lifeguard’s in the stand.” Following this advice is the most important step beach patrons can take to ensure safety for themselves, their friends, and their family. Many of our most serious incidents occur either before we come on duty at 10:00 a.m. or in the evenings after we are off duty at 5:30 p.m., because lifeguards are not there to protect swimmers. Throughout Ocean City, lifeguard stands are positioned about one or two blocks apart.”

from the

Safety Tips Ocean City Beach Patrol

Heat The Beach Patrol reminds you that during hot weather drink plenty of fluids. Thirst is a sign you are already becoming de-hydrated. During hot weather or high humidity, take frequent breaks from activity and drink plenty of water. Know the signs of heat illness and at the first signs of cramps, weakness, dizziness, nausea, or light-headedness move to a cool environment.

Alcohol | Alcohol consumption is one of the leading causes of heat-related emergencies on the beach.

Make sure that you do not consume alcohol before going to the beach! Consuming alcohol on the beach is not only dangerous but it is against the law.

Sunscreen | To avoid the most common beach injury, sunburn, apply sunscreen 30 minutes before beginning your day at the beach and reapply often.

Storms | OCBP wants you to know that one of the most dangerous places to be during a thunderstorm is on the beach. At the first sign of approaching storm or warning from your SRT, you must leave the beach immediately and seek shelter.

40

| OCEAN CITY 2016

Swim Near a Lifeguard Swim near a lifeguard. Find the closest lifeguard and ask about current conditions.

Holes | A hole dug on the beach can suddenly collapse without warning causing a deadly emergency. Never dig any deeper than the knees of the smallest person near the hole.

Shorebreak | Riding waves headfirst onto the beach or diving into shallow water can cause a serious neck injury. Always talk to your lifeguard about current conditions.

Rip Currents | Rip Currents are the biggest hazard to ocean swimmers. Swim parallel to the shore to escape from a rip current. Consult the closest lifeguard about rip current activity and the best place to swim.

Lost Children | Introduce your child to the lifeguard when you first arrive. If you become separated, both parent and child should immediately go to the nearest lifeguard tower. This is the most time- efficient way to reunite lost individuals.

Hot Sand | Bring some type of shoe when going to the beach. Sand can get hot enough to burn your feet.

The bottom of a child’s foot is far tenderer than those of an adult.

Water | Bring lots of water when going to the beach.

Thirst is not a good indicator for your body’s need for water. Encourage children to drink water.

Heat Illness | Beach Patrons should stay hydrated and avoid overexertion to prevent heat illness.

WAVE RIDING

FROM PROFESSIONAL WAVE RIDER BRIAN STOEHR Quick Tips To Have More Fun And Stay Even Safer In The Ocean The most important thing you need to develop if you intend to spend more time riding waves, is a healthy respect for the ocean. My comfort and respect level is what has kept me safe throughout my career as a professional wave rider.

So whats my advice? Educate yourself about the ocean and your surroundings! Educate and develop your own respect of the ocean. Do this and you will minimize a lot of risk that goes along with not only wave riding sports, but all your beach enjoyment.

Begin to understand how the currents work, how the waves work and you seamlessly begin the process of developing that respect factor which can define your limits in the water. One of the greatest things about wave riding sports is you never master the craft. The ocean and waves are ever changing and that means you never learn everything.

Let’s start with some basic safety information that holds true for all levels. Always be aware of the currents that exist in the ocean. There are two main types of currents you want to understand to both stay safe and utilize while riding waves.

The first is the long shore current, which is wind created and makes you drift up and down the beach. My best tip with the long shore current is to pick out a fixed landmark on the beach (hotel buildings are ideal as you can see them from far distance) and pay attention to that mark while in the water. Once you notice that you are down shore, simply hop out and walk back up the beach.

The second is the infamous rip currents. As a wave rider, these are something to be fully aware of, as they are something you to know how to escape. Remember, the worst part about this current is your own fear. The 42

| OCEAN CITY 2016

rip current is an outward pushing current that makes it hard to swim directly back to the beach. The most important thing is not panic and swim parallel to the beach. Once you swim 10-20 feet parallel to the beach, that current will release you and make it easy to swim back to the beach. Remembering this will allow you to enjoy the ocean while minimizing your risk of getting in trouble in the water.

Another common rule of thumb that will drastic help wave riders of all skill levels is understanding that waves break in water about half as deep as the wave is tall. Why is this important? We all ride waves in shallow water. It’s just the physics of how a wave breaks. If you understand that fact, your common sense kicks in when falling off any type of board. If you are conscious of the fact that there is not 10 feet of water under you when riding waves, you will be cautious of how you are exiting your wave or board.

One final safety tip that can shave years of trial and error off wave riding is being conscious of your board at all times. This is particularly important when falling.

If you are enjoying the wave riding sports you also want to know the common etiquette and right of way for other surfers in the water. There is a simple answer to the question of who has the right of way on a given wave. The answer - the person closest to the breaking part of the wave would have the right of way. If someone is closer to the curl of the wave, they would have priority and you should wait for the next wave.

Surfing is a way of life and a culture within itself...

Surfing is defined as the art of riding waves and we do it for FUN! To me, the best surfer in the water is the one having the most fun.

39 Mapledale Road, Dover, DE 302-674-2877 n 1922 Daniel O. Hastings constructed a three-hole golf course on his property, known as Maple Dale Farm, located on the corner of Route 8 and Kenton Road. Expanded to nine holes and designed by R. H. Johnson of Wilmington, the course was leased by a newly formed golf club.

In 1967, The Board of Directors purchased the current 158-acre site and built an eighteen-hole golf course, clubhouse, swimming pool and tennis courts. The first nine holes opened in 1969, the remaining in 1970. Russell Roberts of Silver Springs, Maryland built the golf course. In 1996, a complete renovation and expansion doubled the total capacity of the clubhouse.

Terry Jackson was the architect, with project management performed by board members Dan Krausz and Larry McAllister.

Today, Maple Dale Country Club uses its growing regional prominence to play host to a number of important social events each year, as well as offering some of the best golfing available in the area.

What makes this surfthemed bistro stand out is its unique & diverse menu that appeals equally to the casual diner as well as sophisticated palate. For lunch and lite fare you can choose from gourmet burgers, real Baja-style tacos, innovative sandwiches & paninis or entrée-sized salads.

Dinner selections include local fresh fish prepared in a variety of styles and offerings such as sliced tenderloin of beef with lobster sauce, pork osso-bucco in mirepoix broth, and wild caught salmon with teriyaki-sriracha lacquer over field greens.

“Every item on our menu is about preparation and flavor” says owner Rick Vach.

“We make everything from scratch and that is reflected in the quality and popularity of our food. All of our sauces, salsas, dressings etc are meticulously house-made. We hand-patty our burgers from a blend of chuck, brisket and short-rib. We buy fish from local sources daily and our bread is fresh-baked from a local bakery. From there, we created a menu that isn’t the typical resort-style food. We have things you will only find here, such as our authentic fish tacos, our Elegant Turkey panini and our St. Croix Chopped Salad. Our menu even has a selection of veggie items that features our famous Wrinkled Green Beans (flash-fried and tossed in a secret sweet-soy sauce) and Mexican Street Corn (grilled and rolled in chipotle aioli and cotija cheese). Our chef makes fabulous risottos, our grilled lamb lollypops are topped with an amazing sweet-cilantro pesto, and we are often told we make the best cream of crab soup anywhere”.

ONE OF AMERICA’S COOLEST SMALL TOWNS

B

erlin’s citizens—and fans from around the U.S. and beyond—helped get the town nominated in the Fall of 2013 when Budget Travel solicited suggestions from tens of thousands of online readers. The editors tallied up the nominations, added a dash of editorial discretion for regional and cultural diversity, and came up with a list of 15 finalists—cool burghs from Upstate New York to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, from northern Colorado to the Everglades, and, of course, the Maryland shore.

After more than a month of online voting, Berlin, MD (population 4,563), earned the title of “Coolest Small Town in America!”

that continues to develop along the tree-lined streets.

And Victorian architecture makes for a beautiful setting.

Berlin (historically pronounced BURL-un) was a crossroads of the Shore and entertained business folks, hunters and, of course, those on the way to the small area called Ocean City. Past prosperity is evident in the well-cared for homes and businesses throughout the area. Recently, local business leaders have revitalized the town with a State-designated Arts & Entertainment District where music, art, and crafts are a vital part of the community.

Truly a treat away from the beach is a small, quaint, vibrant, Victorian-influenced town just minutes from the Ocean City boardwalk. Take a little time to get away and enjoy Berlin, Maryland.

When you stroll along and take in the Victorian architecture you’ll be sure to find some tasty restaurants on and off the beaten path. A one of a kind, Rayne’s Reef is a historic old-fashioned soda fountain established for over 100 years nestled within Berlin’s town center. The landmark eatery has been the backdrop for notable movies such as Runaway Bride.

The small part makes Berlin easy to navigate and walk around. The quaint part comes from over 40 buildings noted in the National Register of Historic Homes. The vibrancy is due to the lively arts and entertainment district

Come for the scenic architecture, the fine art, the history, a satisfying meal. Stay for a day and you won’t want to leave. Berlin has something special just minutes away from the Beach & is always “Cool!”

WELCOME TO THE DELAWARE BEACHES

CATCH RAYS OF HISTORY ALONG WITH YOUR SUN T

he Delaware beaches are a very popular destination for vacationers during the summer months. With over 25 miles of coastline, there are plenty of pristine, clean and award winning beaches for everyone to enjoy. Fenwick Island and Bethany Beach both offer a relaxing getaway from the normal hustle and bustle. With easy access to the bay and the ocean, many visitors emjoy an abundant variety of outdoor activities available in and near the water.

Kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, wind surfing, and swimming, all take advantage of the natural beauty of the area. You can find runners, hikers, and cyclists taking advantage of our flat and friendly terrain in the state parks and beyond.

In addition to outdoor activities, many visitors also travel to the Delaware coast for tax-free shopping, beautiful boardwalks and unique dining that you just can’t find anywhere else.

88

| DELAWARE BEACH 2016

The coast of Delaware is known for beautiful beaches, but many travelers visit to learn about the rich heritage that dates back to pre-colonial times. The Indian River Life Saving Station, built in 1876, was constructed to assist ships in need along the coastlines of the United States and is now home to a museum, gift shop and event venue. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is open to the public for tours.

On Coastal Highway from Fenwick Island to Bethany Beach, you may see the large concrete towers along the coastline. In the early 1940’s the United States military set up Fort Miles at the mouth of the Delaware Bay to protect the city of Philadelphia during WWII. The fort took over 1,500 acres of land. Of the eleven towers constructed, eight were located in Delaware.

From the top of the towers, “spotters” could scan approximately 14 miles out to sea in search of enemy vessels and direct the firing of guns mounted along the coastline.

Fenwick Island Fenwick Island boasts a beautiful, wide coastline and small beach town atmosphere that attracts thousands each year. Fenwick Island is home to one of only a handful of lighthouses located in Sussex County. You’ll find bayside on 146th St., a section of roadway that coincidentally serves as the state line dividing Maryland and Delaware. The lighthouse is now a museum and is being maintained by the New Friends of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse.

The Discover Sea Shipwreck Museum, located on the second floor of Sea Shell City (one of Fenwick Island’s original shops) on Coastal Hwy, is another must-see attraction. The museum was founded with the goal of recovering and preserving our maritime heritage. The museum opened in 1995 and is one of the largest of its kind in the Mid-Atlantic. An ever-changing variety of exhibits offer visitors a collection of shipwreck and recovered artifacts of both regional and worldwide sites, with plenty of reasons to keep coming back.

Traveling on Coastal Highway, don’t miss the BethanyFenwick Area Chamber of Commerce’s Information Center, located just south of the Fenwick Island State Park. The Information Center is your one stop shop for everything you will need during your visit. Whether you are planning a local event, looking for something fun to do, or thinking about relocation, the Center has

all the information you will need. Tourism Coordinators are available to assist you Monday-Friday 9 am-5 pm and Saturday-Sunday 9 am-3pm .

Bethany Beach Bethany is known for their quiet beaches, boardwalk, and quaint downtown shopping area with wonderful restaurants and attractions. During the summer season, family friendly entertainment can be enjoyed in the evenings at the bandstand. A Farmers Market is held at the corner of Pennsylvania Ave and Garfield Pkwy. on Sunday.

Visitors to Bethany Beach entering on Garfield Parkway are greeted by the legendary totem pole, Chief Little Owl, standing over twenty feet high. Artist, Peter Wolf Toth donated the totem pole to the town as a part of his “Trail of Whispering Giants” project.

As part of the project, at least one pole is located in each of the 50 states.

The Bethany Beach History Museum is located within town hall, offering photos and brochures, since the town’s incorporation in 1901. Just a short walk West on Garfield Parkway is the Bethany Beach Nature Center and Conservation Area. The property hosts a native plant garden, walking trail, and children’s area.

Inside, visitors can enjoy the interactive nature center.

We pride ourselves in the fact that 95% of the food in our restaurant is homemade and prepared to order. We opened up with a philosophy of serving old Baltimore-style seafood using the best ingredients while trying to assure that our guests get a value for their dollar. The shrimp and scallops are hand-breaded daily with our own breading that is made inhouse. Our Maryland Crab Soup is a recipe that goes back to 1929 to my grandfather (Jake Schneider of the original Jakes Seafood in Baltimore). The bisque is a rich, cream-based soup with scallops, shrimp, lobster, and crab: thick and rich. The Yellowfin Tuna and

Delaware’s Quiet Resorts…

Communities Honor Wounded Soldiers and their Families

By Annette Reeping As far back as the days of early settlers, Delaware’s beaches provided a haven of rest. Then as now, families come to the beach for its beauty, tranquility, ocean waves, and enjoy all the area has to offer.

The heritage of the Quiet Resorts provided the inspiration for a grass-roots endeavor called Operation SEAs the Day (OSTD), which offers wounded soldiers and their families time at the beach to bond. The warrior families are referred to as Very Important Families (VIF’s). For injured warriors and their families and caregivers, the Bethany Beach area is the perfect setting to relax and enjoy time together easing their transition back into civilian life. The program, now in its fourth year, takes place during Warrior Week which begins the day after Labor Day. This year’s event is September 6 – 11.

At the heart of the program is the desire to honor wounded veterans, their families and caregivers. The mission of Operation SEAs the Day is, “To organize and facilitate a beach week event for wounded soldiers and their families as a means of showing appreciation for their service and sacrifice.

It is our hope that such a community based gesture of support will be comforting and help ease their transition back into civilian life.” OSTD volunteer staff works with military service organizations to obtain VIF referrals.

How does it work? Local businesses donate goods, food, and activities to the warrior families. Local host families volunteer to assist the VIF’s when they arrive, and help them navigate the area to take advantage of the many activities available during the week.

Contributing to its unparalleled success is the generosity of grateful local people. In 2013, Sea Colony, a private community of 2200 homes that borders Bethany Beach, asked

owners to donate their homes to wounded veterans for this one week event. The positive response exceeded expectations. Today, surrounding Bethany Beach area owners join Sea Colony owners in providing homes to wounded warrior families. Sea Colony also makes its beach, fitness centers, Tennis Center, Promenade and other amenities available to the warrior families. Along with the Bethany Beach Famers’ Market, Operation SEAs the Day merchandise is sold at the Sea Colony Beach Shoppe at the Marketplace.

The local community and seasonal population actively engages to show patriots and their families their appreciation through personal communications, volunteering, participating in a Hero’s Welcome Parade, creating Quilts of Valor, making monetary donations, baking wonderful treats, offering complimentary meals from local restaurants and providing “on the house” events for the families during their visit. Operation SEAs the Day, which became a 501c(3) public charity in 2014, has a 100% volunteer staff, who along with its many supporters, hopes to set an example which other towns will duplicate throughout the United States.

Is the event worthwhile? Among the many notes of appreciation sent from warrior families, one said, “I wanted to take a moment to express our profound thanks and deepest gratitude… for such a meaningful and life changing experience. Thank you for your honor and actions. Thank you for opening your hearts, homes, and lives to us and for showing us what it is that we have so willingly sacrificed for…. Finally thank you for providing significant attention to the families of the veterans.”
