Parking meters and Jellyfish

Just got back from a trip to Lewes/Rehoboth. We had a great time. I hadn%26#39;t seen anyone else mention the parking meters in Rehoboth. We found a 2 hour meter--75 cents per hour. I don%26#39;t mind the cost but having to run back every 2 hours was a pain. We probably would have stayed longer but we got tired of running back to the meter. I don%26#39;t know if someone else knows of a better spot for parking.... Anyway bring quarters.





Also, we went to Cape Henlopen state park to swim. The water was FULL of jellyfish. Honestly I%26#39;ve never seen so many. I%26#39;m not usually afraid to swim with a few jellyfish, but this was something else. In the 3 hours we were there I probably saw only about 10 people go in the water, and then for only a short time, in and out.





We went to the beach in Lewes (bay).



Parking meters and Jellyfish


RE: Meters: If you go a few blocks away from Rehoboth Ave. the meters are only .50/hr. %26amp; I think you can put up to 6hrs on them. Or you can buy a parking permit that allows you to park in unmetered spaces. DO NOT let them run out...Rehoboth meter readers are notoriously efficient!





RE: Jellyfish: They have been a problem up %26amp; down the Atlantic coast lately. Monday the 24th was one of the worst days EVER...the water looked like it was polka dotted. Since then, it has been much better, but if you look you will see a few %26amp; every now %26amp; then someone gets stung.



Parking meters and Jellyfish


That%26#39;s when we were there! on July 24th. It was something else! A wall of jellyfish. Glad to hear it%26#39;s gotten better.





Good to know about the parking meters. I%26#39;ll look for the 50 cent meters when I return in August.




The parking permit is the best option. I always get one unless I am staying at a hotel. Meters are a pain.

Bay view motel or Hampton Inn?

HI!





My husband, two little ones, and I are heading to the beach in a couple of weeks. I wanted to know if anyone has stayed at either the Bay view motel or Hampton Inn and what your thoughts are as to which one is best.



I would greatly appreciate any help.



Thanks!



Bay view motel or Hampton Inn?


Ramonah,



The Hampton Inn is definitely NOT in Dewey Beach, and I%26#39;m not sure where the Bay View Motel is . . . can%26#39;t find it with google and it doesn%26#39;t ring a bell though we spend time in Dewey.





Do you have a URL or address for Bay View? Is it important to be in Dewey? Hampton Inn is about 4 miles north of the north end of Dewey.

Places to Stay

I%26#39;m looking for suggestions on places to stay for a weekend in August. There%26#39;s a group of ten of us in our twenties. Thanks.



Places to Stay


I would recommend looking at calling the list of motels listed on www.beach-fun.com. Most motels in Dewey are the same, the only real difference being whether they are bayside or oceanside of Route 1. Since Dewey isn%26#39;t that big, don%26#39;t worry so much about location as nothing takes very long to walk.





Keep in mind that weekends are a lot more expensieve than the week (can be up to 2x more expensive) and often require a 2 night minimum staff.





Also, if you are going to Dewey for the nightlife, I strongly recommend staying at a motel in Dewey, not Rehoboth. This will make your transportation issues much easier (i.e. walking) if you decide to imbide in the libations offered at the fine entertainment and music establishments.



Places to Stay


Hi - We just got back from a stay at the Atlantic View, which is right on the beach. Very neat and clean hotel with friendly staff. One of our friend%26#39;s son and his friends ( in their early 20%26#39;s) came down for a few days and loved the location. Many bars witin a few blocks. They never drove anywhere. This hotel was a grreat location. This is one of the only hotels right on the beach, but there are many on the main street, which is just a one block walk to the beach. Good luck!

Any Wireless/High-speed internet options around Bethany?

Staying at the Holiday Inn Exp for a few days in August %26amp; I just realized that they don%26#39;t offer high-speed internet service. I%26#39;m not familiar with Bethany and wondered if there are any cafes or other businesses that offer wireless internet services. I won%26#39;t need it much, just half hour a day for email. Thanks!

Holiday Inn Bethany does offer free hi speed internet.



You can also get free high speed wireless internet in the Sea Colony marketplace shopping center.. trust me...




Thanks for the responses, especially from HIX! Thats great news that the Holiday Inn Express - Bethany has high-speed internet. I probably should have asked you directly but since your website didn%26#39;t list it, I assumed that you didn%26#39;t have high-speed internet. (Most all hotels list high-speed iternet when its offered, often in bold letters.) My obvious advice -- update your website!!! :)



thanks again %26amp; looking forward to our stay.

    Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone could advise me on the easiest way to get from NYC to Rehoboth. I%26#39;ll have lots of heavy bags and I%26#39;ll have to use public transport. What are my options? Thanks for your help!

    Easiest way to get from NYC to Rehoboth Beach

    Rent a car.

    If not, then train to wilmington, and a bus to Rehoboth. Good luck and have fun.
