Rehoboth Beach
Rehoboth Beach has evolved as a close-knit seaside town, from its beginnings as a spiritual center to the public's embrace of the seacoast as a mecca for leisure activity. It's a nod to the past that the city's present-day charter includes words that are nearly identical to several from the 1872 charter of the Camp Meeting Association, referring to "the maintenance of a permanent seaside resort and the furnishing of proper conveniences and attractions requisite to the same". Downtown Rehoboth Beach matured during the Victorian era and has continued to evolve through the generations. Despite their growth and maturation, both Rehoboth's residential and commercial areas have retained the warm and friendly charm and ambiance that reflect Rehoboth Beach's historic past.
With a 30-mile coastline, manicured walking trails, great restaurants, attractions, and breathtaking scenery, Rehoboth Beach is a popular family vacation destination. Rehoboth Beach and Boardwalk is the best scenic venue in town, with family entertainment, shops, restaurants, and open-air concerts. Visitors can explore the area by hiking one of the numerous trails, such as Gordons Pond or the Junction and Breakwater Trail. Delaware Seashore State Park is a swimming and sunbathing paradise, complete with bathhouses, chairs, umbrellas, and snacks. Jungle Jim's, Rehoboth Beach's largest water park, features water slides, a wave park, an activity pool, and a kiddie pool.
