Since then, they have been hosting exhibits, lectures and other programs that celebrate the history of having fun at the beach. Since the days when Rehoboth Beach was known as a Methodist summer retreat, this coastal town has evolved into a summer destination. While doing that, it has also kept is charm, while introducing contemporary excitement. The Second Season in Rehoboth is just as busy as the Summer Season…so, guess what’s happening? Sea Witch Festival is this coming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The Jolly Trolley has joined forces with the Rehoboth Beach Museum and the Bake Shoppe to give visitors a special treat at the start of Sea Witch Week-End!!
