Life at the beach isn’t just about the beach. The year round activities and events keep you busy, trust me. From the SeaWitch Festival to Chocolate festivals, there is always something going on.
One of the big activities at the beach is running! When I first came to the beach it was a big shock to me as well. No, not surfing, or swimming but running – and not just for the exercise. Running / walking are big social events at the beach. You’ll find a race most weeks of the year.
Just recently we participated in the Quest Fitness Mud Run. Yes, crazy people run and overcome obstacles and lots of mud! Why do it? Well why not. Check that item off your bucket list. Have fun, and don’t just live but live well.
Top reasons to participate:
I call it the Amsterdam of America
Top races of the year (well from what I know:)
If you’re interested, check out Seashore Striders. They are a local company who arrange a large number of the races in the area and their website gives you a full run down, pardon the pun, of races throughout the year.
After the recent success of our Rehoboth Foodies competition, I came across another gem which just totally fits Schell Brother’s culture of fun, being active and partying. So I went to me ole buddy Chrissy boy (“Mr. Schell” in person of course) and pitched him my idea. Once again the accent worked wonders.
So, I’m announcing my second competition: Pints & Paddles! To participate and have a chance at winning you just have to SHARE this post and also COMMENT below and tell me why you should win. The competition ends June 30th. 5 winners will be announced here on the Schell Blog and also on Facebook on the 1st of July.
The title of the Pints & Paddles tour was enough for me! That and the word ‘sample’. I’m in Check out the details below from Dogfish Head and leave me a comment.
Pints & Paddles
A kayaking excursion for the beer enthusiast! Brought to you by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and Quest Kayak.
What is it?
A relaxing out-and-back paddle along the scenic Broadkill River suitable for novice or seasoned paddlers. We paddle out through the McCabe Nature Preserve (a Nature Conservancy property) where we often see herons, ospreys, turtles, occasional eagles, and other wildlife. This trip runs from May through October, so the flora of the area is always changing (magnolias, cardinal flowers, etc. are some of the plants we see). After the paddle, we visit the Dogfish Head Brewery and tour the facility and sample (for those of legal drinking age). A keepsake DFH Pint Glass is included with this excursion.
This is an excellent trip for first time paddlers.

Yes, I’m definitely a Rehoboth Foodie. I’m always trying to check off restaurants, as I need to try them all… at least twice!!! I came across a new venture called Eating Rehoboth with Walking Tours. From the website:
eat. sip. walk. discover.
Embark on a 3-hour culinary adventure through downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware! Enjoy exclusive food tastings at five of Rehoboth’s best eateries, paired with delicious wines, local beers or signature cocktails.
Tours also include specialty food shops and beachy outdoor venues. As your tour winds through the streets of Rehoboth Beach, Rehoboth’s seasoned guides will bring you up-to-date on local history and restaurant lore. The combined tastes on your tour add up to a delicious lunch, and everything — including some great take-home items and exclusive Eating Rehoboth coupons – are included.
You then have the opportunity to return to your favorite spot for lunch or dinner. Three of Rehoboth’s top restaurateurs have been nominated for prestigious James Beard Awards for culinary excellence. So what are you waiting for? Book your tour now!
I absolutely think this concept is just a super-duper idea. So, Chris Schell has agreed, I can take 4 winners from this blog on one of the first tours and then I obviously have to blog about the experience. He’s a good chap isn’t he? He is
So how do you win? Just comment (below) on why we should choose you and share this blog to your facebook page. Simple enough. I can’t wait to take the winners out to paint the town red!

Maintenance-free lifestyle. Isn’t that why we all come to lower, slower, Delaware. I know the taxes help but isn’t it all about slowing down, living life and not life living you.
Bayfront at Rehoboth is all about living. Whether it’s kayaking from the private beach, walking the dogs along the walking trails in the community, playing horseshoes by the pool, or playing volleyball on the sandy court. It’s not about making time to cut the yard or about making time to pack for a day at Rehoboth Beach. It’s all about everything being available at your fingertips on your door step.
People ask “Adam doesn’t that mean you’re paying more fees?”. Yes you are BUT there’s huge value in our HOA monthly charge. Remember amenities in abundance, full lawn care, trash, snow removal and common areas. All under $250 a month. Remembering again that all the home sites in the community are over 20,000 sqft!
A normal ‘cut’ on half an acre is roughly around $35-$45! I’m going to let you do the math but with our longer hot season, mulching, lawn treatments and looking after of your irrigation system I’m telling you it’s amazing value just for the lawn care alone and that’s without taking into account the amazing pool, clubhouse and private beach.
SO for $244 per month what do you get?
Billed Monthly $244.00
Common Areas Budget $1,297 per year ($108 per month)
Landscaping of all common areas: Ponds, Pool, Pool House, Clubhouse, Fitness Center, Beach, Floating Pier, Snow Removal
Your Yard Maintainance Program $1,355 per year ($113 per month)
Lawn Mowing ($28 x 26 mowings) $728.00
Mulch and Bed Prep (1x year) $129.00
Lawn Treatments (4x year) $348.00
Irrigation Start and Shut Off (2x year) $150.00
(The yard maintenance program is a true value. Bid out with two other companies for individual lawns and it would cost over $2,000 per year for this lawn program on a 1/2 acre lot.)
Trash Removal $276.00 per year
Weekly pick up $23.00 per month
If you think you’ve found this value anywhere else then in all honesty you should snap it up but remember does that community have Schell Brothers in the package as well? If not, best to stay with Bayfront
Still not sure? Then come and visit me and I’ll show you a community that is full of living.
Cheers Adam
