 garridogal Says:  It's the Fourth of July. You MUST see fireworks. It's the law! Well, maybe it ought to be...We headed down to the beach just in time to see the fireworks. It was quite a site to walk up the beach ramp and see so many people on the sand in the dark. And it was a good show. Oh...

Silver Lake

Silver Lake, Rehoboth Beach

 garridogal Says:  My friends' house is right off Silver Lake. So I walked by it several times every day which is really a pleasure to do. It's a beautiful and protected wildlife sanctuary. The lucky owners of its surrounding houses tend to build gazebos along it. This, in my opinion, is the... 

Beach Baby!

Beach Baby!, Rehoboth Beach

 garridogal Says:  Well... it is Rehoboth BEACH. So go, go, go and get some sun, sun, sun! When you live in New England, yet did not grow up here, you have a strange relationships with its beaches. Sure they're pretty to look at, but not being able to go into what feels like ice-cold water...

Lori's Cafe: Sun 'n Sandwiches, Rehoboth Beach

 garridogal Says:  Lori's is a cute little self-service cafe with a wonderful outdoor dining area. There's a large variety of salad, sandwiches, and vegetarian items. I had a hummus and avocado sandwich on whole grain bread. A side of corn chips were a lovely way to scoop some of the avocado... 

Dos Locos: Rocking Mango Margaritas

Dos Locos: Rocking Mango Margaritas, Rehoboth Beach

 garridogal Says:  It's nice to have dinner with guys who are regulars at Los Locos. How else would we have gotten a fabulous table right by the window, on the spot, on the Friday night of the Fourth of July weekend? You've got to love things like that! The food was yummy too. I always like... 

Cafe Sole: Yummy Sandwiches on Cuban Bread

Cafe Sole: Yummy Sandwiches on Cuban Bread, Rehoboth Beach

 garridogal Says:  Stopped in for lunch after hitting the shops on Rehoboth Avenue. Mostly, we picked it primarily for the air-conditioning. Not gonna lie to ya, it was hot as hell out that day! But whatever the reason, the choice was a good one. The a/c was lovely and the menu had some...

Victorias Resturant, Boardwalk Plaza Hotel: Best Sunday Brunch in State of Delaware., Rehoboth Beach

 tpangelinan Says:  This is the best place to eat in all of state, in my humble opinion. Sunday Brunch, all you can eat, (by reservation only ) is fantastic. I have never had better. Mimosa's or Bloody Mary's are $1.00, and soooo good. Food is 4 Star. Service is too. Any meal will delight you....

Third Edition: Nightly specials in Rehoboth, Rehoboth Beach

 LizMary Says:  Third Editon was THE place to go back in my "single days "(wink, wink)-2000-2002. If you were cool, you went to Third on Friday and Saturday nights. GREAT place to dance!!! Kind of a pick-up joint, but most guys there were good looking ...and (oddly), many older (50-60ish!)... 

Straight bars few & far between

Straight bars few & far between, Rehoboth Beach

 blusuburbansky Says:  I went to Rehoboth for my 23rd birthday weekend. My friends & I knew there were some gay hot spots but we had no idea to what extent! Friday night we got a good buzz going & hung around nonetheless, and it ended up being a great time. Then again we were a group of stylish... 

Transportation  

Get on 'yer bike!

Get on 'yer bike!, Rehoboth Beach

 garridogal Says:  OR borrow one of your gracious hosts' and ride it! This makes so much sense when going to the beach or into town. Cars give bicyclists the right of way, they're so much easier to park, you can get some exercise, AND you'll be so much kinder to the environment! 

Drive . . .

Drive . . ., Rehoboth Beach

 acemj Says:  It took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to get to Rehoboth Beach from Philadelphia. I took I-95 South through Wilmington, Delaware and then hooked up with Route 1 South all the way to the beach. Rehoboth is about 2 1/2 hours from Washington D.C., about the same from Baltimore and... 

Shopping  

OUTLETS!

OUTLETS!, Rehoboth Beach

 garridogal Says:  As you drive into Rehoboth Beach on Rt 1, you can't help but notice all the outlets! When I saw one for Cold Water Creek I got as giddy as if I were on laughing gas. So.... when it was cloudy one morning, we hit it! However, we weren't able to hit any of the other ones... 

Rehoboth Mews and Penny Lane

Rehoboth Mews and Penny Lane, Rehoboth Beach

 garridogal Says:  There are shops all up 'n down Rehoboth avenue. You can find clothes, swimwear, gifts, souvenirs, you get the drift. But there are a couple of little malls running off the street in both directions, Rehoboth Mews and Penny Lane. They're mainly crafty little places which are...

One of my favorite breweries, Rehoboth Beach

 acemj Says:  Dogfish Head Brewery is why I came to Rehoboth. If you're looking to visit the actual Brewery however, it's located in nearby Milton, Delaware. The Brewpub is right in the heart of Rehoboth Beach on Rehoboth Avenue (pictured here). If you ask me, Dogfish is one of the better... 

Warnings and Dangers  

Underwater objects

Underwater objects, Rehoboth Beach

 garridogal Says:  What does this sign mean? Are they referring to shells that you may step on while getting into the water? Jelly fish? Or are they referring to something more nefarious? Perhaps submarines planted by spies, trying to steal the recipe for salt water taffy? 

The Beach Dangers

The Beach Dangers, Rehoboth Beach

 SurfingLuvr Says:  I think that Rehoboth Beach is the most beautiful beach that I have ever been to and of course all the lifeguards are beautiful but the one bad thing about that is that there are so many lifeguards for a reason. The undertoe and the water is very dangerous and in the 2 hours...
