Life on the Other Shore
As nature yields to development and enjoyment along the Indian River Bay, writer Bill Newcott searches for remnants of a pristine past on the waterway’s western reaches.
From plentiful sandbars and shallow tidal beaches making Indian River Bay a pontoon party paradise during the summer, to a glittering pendant of another paradise — Paradise Grill — blue herons, egrets and horseshoe crabs, the dinosaurs of local waterways, represent eons of natural life along Indian River Bay.
Explore the pages of this story in the August issue, available for purchase here: https://www.simplecirc.com/shop/delaware-beach-life/back-issues
Stay tuned for the September issue, coming to local newsstands near you soon!

BEACHGOERS: LOOK UP! Throughout the ’80s, ’90s and well into the 2000s, Bunting’s aerial banners, tugged across the summer skies by an air force of seven planes, were as ubiquitous along the Delaware beaches as seagulls dive-bombing for Thrasher’s fries.
Did you know? The tiny planes towing aerial banners must fly close to shore and not more than a couple of hundred feet up for the letters to be visible.
And there’s quite the skill of the pilot to even get the banner off the ground! Read about how it’s done in the August issue.
