Tradition at Rehoboth:  More than 100,000 people gathered on the boardwalk in Rehoboth and this year is shaping up to be just as great!  Head to downtown Rehoboth for the fireworks show at dusk.  Local favorite, The Funsters will be performing on the bandstand as well.

Fun in Ocean City:  If you want to head out of Sussex, Ocean City for a free concert at 8pm followed by fireworks at 9:30pm downtown on the beach at North Division Street or uptown at 125th Street and Northside Park.  For more information call 800-626-2326.

Spotlight on Matt’s Fish Camp in Bethany Beach

Matt of Matt’s Fish Camp in Bethany Beach focuses on using locally grown, fresh ingredients to create a high quality seafood experience. Located at 28635 Coastal Highway, Matt’s Fish Camp is a casual dining restaurant with delicious food and superb service! You will be happy with almost anything off their menu, but my recommendation would be to stay away from the less-than-perfectly-prepared mussels. But, if you’re in the mood for crab cakes, Matt’s is your place. Their crab cakes are mouth-watering and everyone raves about them! Prices at Matt’s are reasonable, and the absolute freshness of the food is palatable. So, if you’re looking for a place to enjoy a low-key lunch or dinner with friends, be sure to check out Matt’s Fish Camp next time you’re in Bethany.
