Destination? Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, The Nation’s Summer Capital, Events, Activities, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware
The town of Rehoboth Beach was incorporated in 1873. It was to be a Christian Seaside Resort. But, by 1878 the railroad was extended to Rehoboth Beach, bringing visitors and businesses to the area. A mile long award-winning boardwalk provides the tourists and the residents opportunities for walking, and jogging practically at the water’s edge. Through the years Rehoboth Beach has changed, but it has also kept its charm as a seaside resort where every summer memories are made. It has come a long way. It is a dining destination with so many of its chefs outdoing one another in friendly competition. Entertainment, the arts, tax free shopping and the beach….yes, it is so nice living at the beach and I do not take it for granted.
