We recently stayed in Lewes for a week and decided to take a short trip to Rehoboth to explore and do some shopping. Although my brother-in-law used to live in Rehoboth, he has been residing in Lewes for a few years now. The boardwalk in Rehoboth is pleasant and always bustling with both tourists and locals.
This beach is a serene and immaculate haven. It's perfect for bird enthusiasts as we spotted numerous Ospreys on the hunt. Additionally, it's a treasure trove for seashell collectors. We visited in the morning and found the facilities to be spotless, including the restrooms. However, it's important to note that there are no lifeguards on duty if you plan on taking a dip in the water.
This beach is a favorite of ours, with its tranquil bay waters and sandy shores. The lifeguards are exceptional, and the community is always willing to lend a hand, especially when my young child was stung by a jellyfish. A large mat anchored in the water was a source of endless fun for the children. We plan to visit this beach again and again. However, beware of the overzealous parking attendants, and it's best to arrive early or later in the day on weekends to secure a spot.
The beach is fantastic and well-maintained. It's not nearly as packed as Rehoboth beach, and some areas require a parking pass. However, my spouse and I discovered a metered spot that didn't necessitate a parking permit, and we only paid $11 for six hours. There are fewer people, making it a more peaceful and calming experience.
This beach is peaceful and doesn't have lifeguards constantly blowing whistles. It's dog-friendly, which adds to the enjoyment. The beach is clean and parking is conveniently close by.
There are a lot of bugs that bite on the beach itself, but if you're in the water, it's not so bad. You can find plenty of shells and aquatic animals. The water is a bit murky, but that might have been because of the day we visited. Just be careful when going down to the beach as there is a significant drop-off. The dunes appear to have eroded, and it's a steep 6 to 8 feet down to the beach from the path. Despite that, it's still nice and not too crowded, although the bugs probably kept most people away. The Broadkill store is well-stocked with bug spray, food, and ice cream, and they also accept Apple Pay.
