Things for teens to do at the Delaware beaches, what to know about 2025 curfews

In the summertime, local teens gather at the Delaware beaches to meet friends or make new ones, while teens of tourist families often venture out on their own, looking to interact with people their own age. What's not to love about coming of age with sandy feet, the smell of saltwater and the sound of waves crashing? Well, teens are quickly bored. As any adult likely remembers, the beach can only entertain for so many hours of the day, and then there are the hours after dark to fill, as well. In recent years, crowds of teens gathering in public areas at night has become a problem for police. Fortunately, there's plenty for teens to do at the Delaware beaches. Here's a list, as well as what to know about teen curfews as you head to the beaches this summer: Amusement parks are fun for any age, and there are always at least a few of the high-thrill rides teens crave. The iconic Funland is the Delaware beaches' only amusement park. For teens, here's the Gravitron, the SuperFlip and the Sea Dragon, plus many other rides, all of which cost very little to ride. If your teen can drive, or if you're willing to drive them, Trimper Rides in Ocean City, Maryland, is right over the southern Delaware border. It has the Tidal Wave rollercoaster, complete with loops and drops, and about 20 other rides. There are three water parks at the Delaware beaches: Jungle Jim's and White Water Mountain, both in Rehoboth Beach, and Thunder Lagoon in Fenwick Island. Jungle Jim's, on Coastal Highway right next to the Rehoboth exit, is the largest and has a wave pool. It's $50 a day for teens. There's also mini golf and batting cages in the park. Parking, lifeguards and more: What's changed at the Delaware beaches this year White Water Mountain is located behind the Midway Speed Park off Coastal Highway and features "rapid tube slides." It's $37 a day. Go-karts, bumper boats and mini golf are right next door. Thunder Lagoon in Fenwick is located off Coastal Highway right at the Delaware/Maryland border. Tickets are $28 for two hours and $34 for four hours. Thunder Lagoon also has go-kart and mini golf next door. There are a plethora of arcades at the Delaware beaches. Here are some to choose from: Lefty's Alley & Eats, 36450 Plaza Blvd., Lewes, Shore Fun Family Fun Center, 108 Garfield Pkwy., Bethany Beach Captain's Quarters, 35297 Atlantic Ave., Millville Zelky's Beach Arcade has three locations in Rehoboth Beach: 5 N. Boardwalk, 115 S. Boardwalk and in Tanger Outlets Bayside. The Movies at Midway is a multi-theater complex located at 18585 Coastal Hwy. in Rehoboth Beach. Also be sure not to miss movies offered for free on several Delaware beaches. Check town websites for updates. Movies at the Beaches: Dewey, Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island bring back popular movies on beach series for 2025 The Delaware beaches have long dealt with throngs of restless teens causing trouble on summer nights. June is especially chaotic due to freshly-out-of-school kids, colloquially known as "Junebugs," descending on the beach towns. Incidents in recent years have brought the issue to the forefront, causing police to take a harder stance and several towns to enforce curfews. Delaware beaches: Speed limits reduced on Route 1 from Dewey to Fenwick as part of proposed safety measures Dewey Beach may be the most affected by unruly teen crowds, who are too young to access to the bars. "Often times underage kids are at a loss for structured activities and they end up loitering outside bars and other restricted venues," Dewey Beach Police Chief Constance Speake said in a 2024 town newsletter. "Some bring alcohol in back packs and gather on the beach." Teens often coordinate large get-togethers via social media, which results in small-town police departments being swamped by complaints related to public drinking, public urination, loitering, fights and disorderly conduct, Speake said. Dewey Beach, Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach all have an 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew for those under 18. Fenwick Island's curfew is midnight to 6 a.m. More on curfews: How late can my teen stay out this summer?

Shoppers run to B&M as gigantic garden slide is slashed to just a tenner

SHOPPERS are racing to B&M to snap up a gigantic garden slide, scanning for just £10. With a heatwave set to hit parts of the UK this week, and the hot weather looking like it's here to stay for the foreseeable, kids will likely be desperate to get outside and play in the sun. 3 3 And whilst taking the whole family out to water parks and adventure playgrounds can be pricey, B&M fans have spotted the perfect bargain that's bound to keep the kids entertained all summer long. Sharing his find in the B&M Scanner And Other Bargains! Facebook group, a private group with 328,000 members, the bargain fan said: "Yesterday's find at B&M." Attached to the post was a picture of a Gigantic Garden Slide, originally priced at £50. A sale sticker had been placed on the box, to say it had been reduced to £30, however, when the shopper got to the till, it had been reduced to just £10. The bargain buy is six feet long when inflated and promises "slip'n, slide'n fun". It is suitable for children over three and includes a battery operated pump. B&M said: "Unleash the fun in the sun with this epic giant inflatable slide! "Watch as the kids' smiles reach new heights - It's the ultimate entertainment for endless summer fun." Shoppers raced to the comments section of the Facebook posts to tag their friends and share the bargain with them. One shopper pointed out that the slide is from last year's stock, so may not be available to buy in your local. I transformed my garden patio into summer haven for less than £100 with cheap B&M buys including gadget to keep bugs out And the slide isn't the only B&M bargain shoppers can get their hands on this summer. Bargain lovers across the UK can now snap up the Palm House Leaf Stem Metal Wall Art for just £1.50 in-store – down from £3 – giving their gardens a budget-friendly glow-up just in time for summer. Whether you're creating a lush retreat or just want to hide that tired old fence, this bit of wall art does the job for less than the price of a coffee. According to the manufacturer, it 'brings fun and charm to your garden' and is perfect for adding character without the need for heavy DIY work. Why B&M is so good for bargains SENIOR Digital Writer, Abby Wilson, who loves a shopping trip to B&M, has shared her thoughts on why the chain is the place to go for bargain buys... WE all love B&M (especially me). It's a one-stop-shop where you can nab all things from gardenware and homeware, to snacks and cleaning supplies. Not only do we love the variety B&M offers (because after all, who can be bothered to go to five different shops anymore?!), but the prices are brilliant too. If you're on a budget, B&M is definitely worth vising - as it's full of cheap bargain buys. Not only will you find affordable items, but B&M is full of dupes too - so if you're after beauty buys without the designer price tag, you'll need to take a trip. Similar to this, the chain are eager to get on trends - so if you see something in H&M Home but are on a budget and can't justify the price, give it a few weeks and you'll probably spot something similar on the shelves in your local B&M. The retailer has recently slashed prices on a range of outdoor products, including a luxury gazebo now reduced to £100, down from £125. And the bargain store recently sent shoppers into a frenzy, by selling children's toys for just £1. Keep in mind that retailers are allowed to price products differently across their stores. Make sure you're shopping around to get the best price.
