“I love swimming in the ocean.”

“I don't know much right now I'll have to bone up, online.”

“ You can't beat the Delaware beaches. Clean, fun, no sales tax and close to Washington (area I grew up in). Bought a 2nd home in Bethany Beach and never looked back. Once the kids are gone, my wife and I will transplant permanently to this area. Can't wait. ”

“Where do I start? Fresh air, clean waterways, beautiful sunsets, lovely communities, clean...did I say clean?”

“ I always said I'd retire at the beach; I never knew I'd be so lucky as to start my career here right out of college. Six years later, I still have trouble believing that "vacation" is daily life for us! I feel very spoiled to have the ocean and beaches at our disposal everyday, not to mention all of the other recreational, historical and resort attractions. And I love that it's an easy commute to a number of cool major cities! Delaware packs a lot of punch into a small package. ”

“ You can go for a walk on the beach at Cape Henlopen State Park in the morning then take a leisurely drive to have lunch on the Chesapeake Bay on the Eastern Shore of MD in the afternoon. DE has it all. Going on 7 yrs of blissful living... ”

“ I love the beach, I love the atmosphere and friendly people. Even after 6 years of living in DE I still find that I have times that I have to pinch myself and say, "this is home, I don't have to leave" !! In addition to the beach my husband and I love to kayak and there are so many gorgeous bays and parks in DE. ”

“ I love jogging in the State Parks in Delaware. There are some great trails in the Cape Henlopen State Park for runners. There's also the Junction and Breakwater trail between Lewes and Rehoboth that is beautiful and soft on the knees. My favorite is the running trail around Gordon's Pond in North Rehoboth. It's absolutely amazing back there. ”

“ Liz and I moved from Maryland and, for us, retirement began in Delaware. We quickly realized that we didn't retire from something, but rather had a beautiful place to retire to--DELAWARE! Our nearly 2 years in Delaware have us working at living! We made a retirement plan and are living that plan in gorgeous, beautiful, and fulfilling Delaware! ”
