Located on the Atlantic Coast only two hours from Washington, D.C.,
Baltimore, or Philadelphia you can enjoy a beach resort that
offers tranquility and hospitality.
It would be difficult to find another location that could match the resort area's variety and charm.
One of downtown Rehoboth's greatest assets is a mile-long
boardwalk which allows for bike riding, strolling or jogging. Other
activities and special events on the "boards" include miniature golf,
arcades, a small amusement park, bandstand musical entertainment and
numerous festivals. Here, you can sit and watch the sunrise, enjoy our
many migrating dolphins and catch a glimpse of our latest visitors, pelicans.
Dewey Beach is a natural sandbar community that
boasts an ocean on one side of the street and a bay on the other. This
area is popular for water sports such as skimboarding, windsurfing and
catamaran sailing. Sunsets over the bay provide a romantic atmosphere
and enhance the nightlife. Located adjacent to Dewey Beach is the
Delaware Seashore State Park. Here you will find a long stretch of
natural beach that offers several areas for four-wheel vehicle access
and surf fishing. Another popular activity is treasure hunting on the beach
with metal detectors.
The resort offers beautiful white sandy beaches and natural
dunes that abound with vegetation and wildlife. The surrounding beach
parks offer visitors a chance to feel alone with the sand and surf.
Cape Henlopen State Park offers an open shoreline which is excellent for
crabbing, surf fishing, swimming or walking. This beach is the home of
the highest sand dune between Cape Hatteras and Cape Cod. This "great
dune" rises more than 80 feet above the shoreline. The park also houses the
famous "walking dunes" and colonies of shorebirds. If you like to
observe from above, a refurbished World War II observation tower is
open to the public and is a featured stop on nature walks. In late fall,
Gordon's Pond offers bird lovers an opportunity to observe the many
wildlife species such as osprey, piping plover and occasionally an
American bald eagle. In late spring, a little known activity includes
picking a local delicacy, beach plums, which are used for making jelly.
The Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach small-town atmosphere is a
showcase for many activities held in the spring and fall of each year.
Plan to take advantage of special accommodation package prices during
the Sea Witch Halloween and Fiddler's Festival held October 23-25,
2009.
