Rehoboth Beach & Lewes

A lively beach town and a historic harbor village.

Rehoboth Beach and Lewes are a perfect pair. Walk Rehoboth’s boardwalk and eat at its creative restaurants, then slow down in Lewes, a 1631 harbor village with a beer-lover’s inn from Dogfish Head. Bike the trails and dunes at Cape Henlopen State Park, and take the ferry across the bay to Cape May for a day.
