The state agency&#8217;s Division of Parks and Recreation now oversees the publicly-owned beach property, handling tennis court rentals, ongoing court renovation work, concession stand operations, and lifeguard services. Under the new arrangement, however, beach raking duties will return to municipal crews.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rehoboth Beach has struck a deal with DNREC to take back responsibility for raking approximately 600 yards of Deauville Beach.
