About this event
PCA Chesapeake’s Tour & Rally Committee is pleased to offer its first of two Eastern Shore tours this year, before the summer crowds flock to the beaches. As we did last year, we will go beyond the Maryland state line. From Maryland’s Eastern Shore, we will head to Coastal Delaware, where we will have lunch at one of the many wonderful restaurants in the Rehoboth Beach area. And we will have the option of proceeding to Chincotegue in Coastal Virginia, where we can treat ourselves to some ice cream or dessert.
This Delmarva Tour will start east of the Bay Bridge and proceed on a scenic route made up mostly of enjoyable back roads that most visitors to the tristate peninsula do not use or know.
The group lunch in Coastal Delaware, as usual, will be optional. Afterward, attendees may join the drive to Coastal Virginia, if they want to.
Tour attendees who decide to forgo the afternoon drive to Chincoteague could head to the BEACHES in Rehoboth, Lewes, Dewey, Bethany or Ocean City. Or go SHOPPING in the charming downtown areas of these various resort towns. Or proceed to Rehoboth’s Tanger OUTLETS (remember, there is no sales tax in Delaware). Or head home.
This tour will be a limited-capacity event. If you are interested, REGISTER ASAP! This event’s ultimate ending point will be the parking lot of the Chincoteague High School. But for those who are not going to Virginia, the tour will end at the parking lot of our lunch destination in Millsboro, DE.
Those going to Chincoteague will have the following options: Enjoy some ice cream at one of two creameries; savor cakes and other pastries at one of the many restaurants; explore the various interesting things Chincoteague has to offer; stay for dinner; stay overnight at one of several hotels; or head home after relishing the afternoon in this charming coastal town.
