Rehoboth and Lewes
Located on the Delaware Eastern Shore, Rehoboth Beach has been a frequent vacation spot for me and my family for as long as I can remember. There is a small but quaint boardwalk with typical touristy shops and candy stores offering lots of opportunity to buy saltwater taffy, fudge of various flavors, ice cream, or whatever other sweets you wish to savor or save for the ride back to your hotel. There is also a large beach with lots of room to play catch (if the sand’s temperature allows), makes for an enjoyable summer vacation spot. What makes it a good place to visit anytime of the year, however, is the walking and biking opportunities in the Rehoboth and Lewes area. My favorite location is Cape Henlopen State Park which contains many paved trails through picturesque sandy areas, marshes, and regions displaying old WWII relics. There are also dirt trails, covered mostly by pine needles, that travel through wooded areas in the park. Although a reasonable 20 minute drive or so from the main area in Rehoboth, the park has recently been made much more accessible via a raised boardwalk connecting a path originating from Whiskey Beach to a trail inside the park itself. Now it is possible to bike from the boardwalk in Rehoboth all the way to the bathhouse inside Cape Henlopen, which would take only about 40 minutes. The East End Lighthouse is often the foreground for many stunning sunsets, but its classic design and distinctive red color make it a superior photo opportunity any time of day.
