Four: Fun events such as the Bethany Boardwalk Arts Festival, The Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival, surf fishing tournaments, Punkin Chunkin’ (of course), and more. Our web development administrator,
There’s more to the Beach Guide, of course. But if you can’t make it to the beach, there’s no shortage of things to do elsewhere this month. To wit:
