[quote=Anonymous]Rehoboth is probably the best choice for inclusivity, but Dewey will have more young people their age. The beaches in Maryland were segregated way later than the DC-area part of MD. For example, at North Beach, MD my father went there as a kid and they had "Whites" and "Colored" signs at the snack bar and bathrooms. Tha'ts why nearby Carr's and Sparrow's beaches were established -- they were open to black people. Ocean City, MD was segregated up until the mid 1960's. They had "Colored Excursion Day" just after Labor Day, after the season was over, for Blacks to come to the beach. They would take that opportunity to sell any leftover merchandise from the summer. Here's a little bit about it: https://www.chesapeakebay.net/news/blog/three-chesapeake-beaches-reflect-history-of-desegregation [/quote]
