Once a year like migrating salmon all humans should force their way to the SEA and walk humbly into the water. They should let the WAVES splash them, and the SAND suck from under their feet. They should do this - young or old, rich or poor, hale or frail, for it will more greatly improve the mind than any treatment devised by any branch of medicine.

Beach Retreat

We invite you to join us at the Girls' Beach Retreat held annually on a weekend in Spring or Fall. Take some time for yourself! Get away for a short break. Relax – you won't have to take care of anyone but you.

Who

Mostly professional and creative women who want to get away, or stay-at-home Moms who want a break from family. We always have good times, good food, and the mix of people and camaraderie is part of the fun. 

Where

We take over an inn on Maryland Avenue in downtown Rehoboth Beach Delaware, just two blocks from the boardwalk and ocean, and one block from the bookstore and shops.

What’s Happening

You can hang out with the group, go for walks along the shore alone or with others, bring whatever books and music you're into for sharing, play board games, drink wine, sleep in, stay up late, go to movies, get a massage, go shopping – or not. Just do as you please.

We have full reign over spacious living areas – with two comfortable living rooms, two dining rooms and two fully equipped kitchens and three bathrooms. Simple but comfortable bedrooms are decorated in beach style with a total of 11 double beds and 5 twin beds.

We bring some of our own meals and heat them up in one of the two fully-equipped kitchens. In the West Wing kitchen, you can store your own special-needs food or drink. We get together in the East Wing and spread out and chat. If you want a break from the group, simply move over to the West Wing for quiet time or yoga exercises.

Included

• Room for Friday and Saturday nights
• Cosy linens and white fluffy towels
• What-to-Pack Checklist
• Healthy - and decadent - breakfast buffet

Maximum 16 women. Ages have ranged from 21 to 81. Three rooms are assigned for friends or family to share; the rest are single rooms. Check-in Friday noon. Check-out Sunday noon.

Planning and Anticipation

A month or so before,  we get together to meet our fellow beach combers, confirm carpool and potluck plans, exchange contact info and finalize the details.
