So you're on vacation. You've been to the beach. Your kids Bobby and Susie are starting to lose interest in building sandcastles and your spouse is redder than a steamed crab. Throughout your travels you keep seeing all these beautiful inlets and bays all around you. "What's up with those?" you wonder. "They sure are beautiful," you exclaim.

You are most certainly right! They're stunning and one of the very unique gems of the area. You should pack up Bobby and Susie and your overcooked partner and take a pontoon boat tour with the Delaware Seashore State Park guides. The tours explore the bay and all they have to offer. The kiddos will get to learn about water quality and the wildlife in the bays. They'll get a chance to see some living specimens and help out with the water tests while you get to sit back and cruise on Captain K's pontoon boat. Sound good? I thought so.

TIP: The pontoon boat leaves on Thursday at 10am (Estuarine Ecology Tour $20) and 1pm (Rehoboth Bay Sightseeing Tour $18) Call 301-227-6991 to register. If boats aren't you thing, check out the other Delaware Seashore State Parks offerings. They have a ton of events!
