My childhood friend and cousin, Rosalyn, visited me and after not seeing each other for so many years, we fell into step; talking, laughing and reminiscing.
She had never been to the Delaware Beaches and after being here for a few days she stated that of all the beaches she had visited; from Kennebunkport, the Hamptons, etc. she found this coastal area the most beautiful, quaint, friendly and so relaxing.
Shop, dine and stay in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Downtown Rehoboth Beach is a walking town. The beach, shops, restaurants and entertainment venues are all within walking distance from one another.
