A nonstop parade of motels and shopping malls along
the six miles of Hwy-1 links Lewes with REHOBOTH BEACH
, Delaware's largest and liveliest beach resort, which merges
into Dewey Beach at its southern end. Crowded
all summer, but nearly empty the rest of the year, Rehoboth -
which started life as a Methodist revival camp, and attracts so
many escapees from DC that it's known as the Nation's Summer Capital
- is more family oriented than other beach towns, lacking the
nightlife of Ocean City but making up for it with miles of clean
and uncrowded sands.
Rehoboth has less of a history than Lewes, though
its wooden boardwalk is one of the last on the
east coast. It stretches along the Atlantic to either side of
Rehoboth Avenue - always " The Avenue "
- which acts as the main drag, its four short blocks clogged with
souvenir shoppers browsing though the usual array of T-shirts
and seaside kitsch. Most of the restaurants and
nightspots are concentrated here, with Thrashers
French Fries stands and burger bars mixed in with the mock-Caribbean
beach shack decor of the Back Porch Caf? , 59 Rehoboth Ave (tel
302/227-3674), and the gaudy Mexican touch of the Iguana Grill
, a block north at 52 Baltimore Ave (tel 302/227-5957). After
dark, the action shifts to the anglophile environs of the Country
Squire , 19 Rehoboth Ave (tel 302/227-3985), which has the largest
beer selection for miles.
If shopping is your passion, Rehoboth has the largest
concentration of outlet stores in the Delmarva
area, with more than 140 famous name shops like Nike, Donna Karan,
Gap and Coach, where, as in all of Delaware, you can shop tax-free.
You can't miss the blatant consumerism along Route 1 - just follow
the tide of cars inching toward the latest bargains.
South of Rehoboth, Delaware Seashore State
Park (tel 302/227-2800, ) stretches for miles along a
thin, sandy peninsula, split by Hwy-1 and bounded on the east
by the Atlantic and on the west by various freshwater marshlands.
There's little here apart from beachfront parking areas ($5) and
the park's campground (tel 302/539.7202 or 1-877/98PARKS) until
you approach the Maryland border, where the concrete tower blocks
of Bethany Beach do little to prepare you for
the Costa del Sol-like concentrations of hotels and condos in
Ocean City, ten miles further along.
