Rehoboth – Good Times on the Delaware Coast
February 23, 2007. When folks in the Mid-Atlantic States want a good time on the beach, they book a luxury vacation rental at Rehoboth. The area, little known outside the region, was featured this week in the Washington Post.
The general name actually refers to two bays –its namesake and the Indian River – as well as the Atlantic beaches. A system of barrier islands, the Delaware Seashore State Park, sits at the mouth of these bays, keeping the waters therein fairly protected from the ocean. On the north side, the twin towns of Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach could be called the Daytona Beach of Delaware. On the south side, the town of Dewey Beach serves a mellower crowd. The rest of the bay remains tranquil and seemingly untouched.
The Washington Post story focuses on the wonderful spas in the area and the fact that winter can be a great time to visit. The beaches also draw big crowds for spring break. Music fans also come for several music showcases: the Delaware Music Festival, Dewey Beach Popfest, High Tide Jamfest and Dewey Beach Music Conference.
If water sports are your thing, you've found the right place. Surfing, sailing, kayaking and motor boating have become the official pastimes, with dual personalities to choose from in either the ocean or bay.
