Sun, Sand, and Salt Water Taffy in Rehoboth Beach

Hit the beach

Most folks are coming here for one reason and one reason only: the beach! The town abuts approximately one mile of beautiful Atlantic coastline, accessible via a boardwalk. And for folks who want something a little off-the-beaten-path, Poodle Beach at the far southern end of the boardwalk offers a haven for LGBTQ beach goers to escape the crowds that may gather near the town’s main beaches.

Take a walk on the boardwalk

Enjoy the salty air and ocean breezes as you strut along the Boardwalk, Rehoboth’s waterfront artery. While you’re here, check out the rides and arcade games at Funland Amusement Park, treat yourself to Thrasher’s French Fries, or enjoy a cool Kohr Brother’s frozen custard.

Escape to nature

Just up the road from town is Cape Henlopen State Park, which offers miles of untouched natural beaches. Check out the historic ruins of Fort Miles, explore the Point at the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay, or go camping under the stars for a rustic beach experience.

Shop til’ you drop

On the outskirts of town along Route 1, you’ll find the Rehoboth Beach Outlets, which feature a mix of top designer stores at discount prices. And, as Delaware is famously known for its lack of sales tax, expect even bigger discounts on some of your favorite items.

Dance the night away

A haven for LGBTQ beachgoers, Rehoboth is just as fun off the sand after hours. Mix and mingle with fellow travelers at Aqua Bar and Grill, catch a live show or a cocktail at The Pines, or dance into the night at Diego’s.

Explore nearby towns

Beyond Rehoboth, there’s plenty to see in the other towns along the Delaware Beaches. Explore history and cuisine in Lewes, bar-hop in Dewey Beach, take it slow in Bethany Beach, or get lost in nature on Fenwick Isle. And of course, the sights and sounds of Ocean City are just a short hop away.
