What's happening at the Delaware beaches on first week in June
It's the first week of June at the Delaware beaches and that's enough already with the comfortably cool temperatures! We're ready to be so hot we forget we ever saw "Jaws" and spend more time in the Atlantic Ocean than on land. To walk around the beach towns in swimsuits. To be in dire need of a rainbow snow cone. Plan your summer fun: Welcome to our 2025 Delaware Summer Guide Cooler temperatures and rain may have contributed to the seeming "slowness" at the Delaware beaches over the last two weekends. Traffic on Coastal Highway has been strangely sparse at times, but in the coming days, the sun will shine and the mercury will rise. Here's what to know if you'll be at the Delaware beaches this week. Every day this week is expected to be sunny with temperatures reaching 80 degrees, until June 7. There's a 50% chance of showers that day. The National Weather Service predicts June 8 to be partly sunny. Weather predictions can and will change. Check the forecast before heading out. The 19th annual Seaside Craft Show will be held on the Bethany Beach boardwalk June 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It's free to attend. The 18th annual Mid-Atlantic Sea Glass & Coastal Arts Festival will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 7 and 8. The grounds of the Lewes Historical Society on Shipcarpenter Street will be filled with over 70 vendors. Visit for info. Local favorites The Funsters will play the Lewes ferry grounds June 8 from 3 to 7 p.m. The show benefits the Greater Lewes Foundation's Fourth Street Preserve efforts. Tickets are $35. Get them at Coastal Delaware Restaurant Week continues through June 6, featuring discounts and prix-fixe menus in Lewes, Rehoboth and Dewey Beach. Visit for a list of participants. Funland in Rehoboth Beach has been open since mid-May. Jungle Jim's Waterpark in Rehoboth is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. until June 14, when it will be open daily. Check the Thunder Lagoon Waterpark Facebook page for weekend hours in Fenwick Island. Whether or not Midway Speedpark's White Water Mountain opens depends on the weather. Most beach towns are now hosting free events several times a week, including farmer's markets, movies and concerts. Check your town's webpage for more information. Delaware beaches: All about the new Rehoboth Beach Patrol Headquarters on the boardwalk The past few weekends have been blissfully uneventful in terms of crime, though we have seen several vehicles stuck on the beach already. Here's how not to do that. Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island all have teen curfews now. Those under 18 can't be in public places or businesses between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., except in Fenwick, where it's midnight to 6 a.m. There are some exceptions, like for those going to and from work. Surf-fishing reservations are required on Delaware's drive-on beaches on weekends and holidays throughout the summer. Find out everything you need to know here. With the next full moon approaching (June 11), you're going to be seeing more and more horseshoe crabs on the Delaware beaches. They are harmless (the tail is for moving, not defense) and super important environmentally. If you see one flipped on its back, gently flip it over by its side. Diamondback terrapins also are in the area at this time of year. In the bays especially, look for their little heads on top of the water. Keep an eye out for them on roads near beaches. If you see one in the road, you can pick it up by the middle of its shell and help it across in the direction it was going. Don't move it any further. If you get super lucky, you might see newly hatched diamondback terrapins on the beach, making their way to the water for the first time. As always, don't forget to pay for parking, or better yet, take the DART bus.

FOX31 Newsletters: Sign up to get breaking news sent to your inbox The CJB said the new position was created by the passing of SB25-024. People with comments about any of the nominees can send their thoughts to Gov. Polis by email. The 18th Judicial District is the court for Arapahoe, Elbert, Douglas and Lincoln counties, and provides court and district court attorney services to the western, central and eastern locations of Arapahoe County. The state of Colorado and Arapahoe County oversee the court system. The court's District court judges hear civil cases of any amount as well as domestic relations, criminal, juvenile, probate and mental health cases. Colorado Senate Bill 25-024 was enacted this year to address increasing caseloads and enhance access to justice by expanding the state's judiciary. Gov. Polis signed SB25-024 into law on March 24, 2025. The new law was first introduced on Jan. 8, 2025. The bill mandated the addition of one district court judge in the 4th, 17th, 18th and 23rd judicial districts by July 1, 2025. SB25-024 also increased the number of county court judges in La Plata County by one. Starting July 1, 2026, the bill will increase by one the number of district court judges in the 4th, 13th, 17th, 18th and 19th judicial districts, as well as increase by one the number of county court judges in Larimer County, Douglas County, Mesa County and Eagle County. The bill also allows district court judges assigned to Arapahoe County to maintain offices outside of the county seat. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
