Kick Off Summer with a Delaware Memorial Day Vacation

Peak summer vacation season is almost here. However, you don’t have to wait until July or August to visit beachside towns like Bethany Beach. Memorial Day weekend is the perfect time to plan your summer vacation in Delaware. Enjoy all the fun the Quiet Resorts have to offer without the large crowds that come later in the season.

The first step in planning your Memorial Day escape is reserving your vacation rental from Wilgus Associates. Our inventory of well-appointed rentals includes homes and condos in top communities like Sea Colony, Bethany Proper, and Bethany West. Once that is taken care of, turn your attention to creating an itinerary of unforgettable adventures that’ll put you in the summer spirit.

5 Things to Do on Your Memorial Day Escape

Summer is known for its idyllic weather, where temperatures can reach daily highs in the 80s later in the season. Visiting at the end of May means you can enjoy pleasant conditions that are perfect for spending time outdoors.

1. The Poseidon Festival is held annually during Memorial Day weekend. Taking place in downtown Bethany Beach, the event features live sand sculpting, marine science activities, and pirate and mermaid performances.
2. Enjoy a less crowded day at the beach. This area is known for its clean, guarded beaches that are perfect for all kinds of activities, like those at Fenwick Island State Park. Get to the shoreline early to secure your spot.
3. Go for a stroll along a local boardwalk. The shops and eateries found along local spots like the popular Bethany Beach Boardwalk and Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk start to open up more around this time of year.
4. Lace up your shoes and go hiking. Natural attractions like Delaware Seashore State Park in nearby Rehoboth Beach or the Bethany Beach Nature Center are the ideal places to surround yourself with Mother Nature’s beauty.
5. Set sail on a kayaking adventure. Sign up for a guided outing with Ecobay Kayak and SUP through the James Farm Ecological Preserve or Coastal Kayak through Little Assawoman Back Bay.
