General presentation
Plages du Delaware
Small Atlantic resorts, dunes, bays, boardwalks and natural refuges between Lewes and Bethany Beach.
To understand what Delaware Beaches are, you have to look at Rehoboth Beach, Cape Henlopen and Lewes. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the coastline, natural spaces and the countryside and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: very seasonal and warm and mosquitoes in summer. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Seafront
Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk
Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk offers a clear line of seaside activity on the Atlantic coast, between restaurants, family attractions and beach access. The rhythm is dense but very legible, ideal for capturing the commercial and festive structure of the Delaware coast.
Coastal park
Cape Henlopen State Park
Cape Henlopen State Park combines dunes, beaches and military remains, with cycle paths and trails that invite a more active version of the coastal stay. The contrast with Rehoboth gives a natural depth in the same context of lagoon and open coast.
Historical city
Lewes
Lewes keeps a historic heart first and foremost historical and a quiet port where the city is perceived to be old. By chaining centre and canal, one feels a bay town more heritage than seaside, useful as a base for the coast.
Family beach
Bethany Beach
Bethany Beach offers a family atmosphere and restraint, with a beach less agitated than the most famous resorts of Delaware. Time is slower, centered on walking and sand, which is suitable for those looking for softness.
