About Rehoboth Beach
Rehoboth Beach is Delaware's flagship resort, long nicknamed 'The Nation's Summer Capital' for its popularity with Washington-area visitors. A mile-long boardwalk, a welcoming, family-and-LGBTQ-friendly vibe, tax-free shopping, and a wide sandy beach make it one of the mid-Atlantic's most beloved beach towns. The Atlantic here is warm in summer (upper 70s to low 80s°F), cooler in spring and fall, and cold in winter. Check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, follow posted flags, and swim near a lifeguard.
