With the ten inches of snow on the ground here in Delaware, the anticipation for spring and summer is evident in everyone! There is talk of it all over town, the Internet, and the news! "When is beach season coming for us?!"
Even with the snow on the ground, the beach season is just around the corner & some people who are just moving to Kent or Sussex County Delaware may need some information on the different beaches before they decide which beach may be best for them & their families!
There are a few "main" beaches that people tend to visit more frequently then some of the other "smaller" beaches. Many of these beaches have a lot of similarities, but a few key points that make them VERY different.
First lets talk about the most well known beach in Delaware: Rehoboth Beach. This beach has a wonderful boardwalk with tons of shops & places to eat on the boardwalk as well as many of the other side streets. These shops include things like arcades, clothes, jewelry, candy, etc. This area tends to be crowded throughout the entire beach season, but it doesn't stop many people from coming anyway. This is not a good place to come to if you are looking for surfing or anything of that nature. There is also the Tanger Outlets, which is for the more serious shopper, rather than the Boardwalk shops. This holds home to places like Nike, Under Armor, JCrew, Pac Sun, Old Navy, Osh Kosh, Guess, Banana Republic, Gap, Polo, & much much more! There are rental homes, hotels, condos available in this area as well.

Dewey Beach is also a pretty popular beach here in Delaware. It is actually on a tv show now!!! This beach offers a lot of rental houses, hotels, condos, restaurants, bars, etc. There is plenty of beach area & a lot of people tend to like this area. There is a lot of night life in this area, & a lot of High School graduates and College kids stay here & work for the summer. I do not believe that you can surf here during life guard hours either.
Now Lewes Beach is more of a historical area. It does get busy, but is never as populated as Rehoboth or Dewey. There are some shops & restaurants in town as well. This is not a good surfing area at anytime.

Bethany Beach is also a busy tourist area. I have never really went there myself because it is further south then both Dewey & Rehoboth, so it is just easier to go to one of those. I know there are a lot of restaurants, & a lot of places to rent out as well. I am not familiar with surfing rules in this area, so you would want to check that out before hand.
** There are plenty of other beach areas, but these are the main ones that stick out for me! If you are looking for places to surf in Delaware, I would go to a place like the Indian River Inlet, or between the two tours just after Dewey Beach. These places tend to be less crowded & I hear the surf is better!!**
I hope this information is found useful to anyone who is interested in coming to the Delaware Beach area to visit, or to make that big move! Please feel free to call, text, or email me if you have any further questions on the area!!!!
