Post subject: | Lewes Beach, Delaware Shore - rules for keeping cat on beach |
I just came back from Lewes Beach, DE, where I noticed a bunch of beach cats which "lived" on the beach. Lat/Long: 38.782863, -75.137801 http://goo.gl/maps/KYNb0 Does anyone on this forum know the rules for keeping a Hobie on the beach through the Summer? Is it free? Safe? Thanks for any info you can share. |

If someone in the know doesn't reply to this, you could try contacting someone at Lewes Yacht Club. They are located at the north end of the beach you posted a link to. http://lewesyc.com/home/contactus.html As far as "Safe?" goes, I have lived here for nearly a decade and have never heard of any problems. |

I can't speak for Lewes Beach, DE, but when I lived on Cape Cod, leaving a boat on the beach like that was typically a "deeded beach rights" or a "homeowners association" controlled thing. I would generally expect those boats to belong to whoever owns that first row of houses (or friends of theirs). If they weren't owned by the people in those houses, I would expect those homeowners to (sooner or later) be pitching a fit about the boats obstructing their ocean views. As to "safe", I kept a boat on the beach all summer for 6 or 7 years and never had a *major* problem. About once a year, some minor piece of rigging would disappear (a sheet usually), but no major vandalism, and if people were bringing their own sails and joyriding on my boat, I was unaware of it. |
