199 steps! Fairly easy climb, but tougher to do with carrying small children- best to do once they’re old enough to make the climb. Great views!

While it is not very likely that you’ll see a whale, you will likely see lots of dolphins and birds. And scenery. And if you go at the right time, an incredible sunset.

This Victorian beach town- which seems like a contradiction in terms- is the oldest in the US. Beautiful architecture- lots of houses to admire, shops and eateries, and a small boardwalk where you can ride bikes in the morning.

This is the residential bay-front town where you’ll be staying. Lots of deli shops, eateries, ice cream joints, a Wawa, and CVS. A place where birds and horseshoe crabs abound, the landscape changes every few hours with the tides, and the majority of people are year-round residents.
