specialty. Menus range from the local catch of the day to
vegetarian. The area is also well known for it's shopping
opportunities. There are many local artisans, as well as
factory outlets where you can really stretch your vacation

Another thing that Rehoboth Beach is famous for is its

boards and watch the ocean waves. You can also bike ride or
jog or just hang out and people-watch. If you are lucky
enough you can catch a glimpse of dolphins, porpoises, and
other wildlife, such as pelicans. Other activities which are
great for the kids as well as adults include arcades, musical
entertainment, miniature golf and the many festivals that

For those of you who are into more natural surroundings,
there is Cape Henlopen State Park close by in Lewes, Delaware

suited for swimming, crabbing, fishing, walking or just
soaking up the sun. The highest sand dune between Cape
Hatteras and Cape Cod is located on this beach. This "great
dune" towers more than 80 feet above the shoreline.

There is a restored World War II Observation Tower, if you
are inclined, where the public is able to see the area from a
bird's eye view. The story behind the tower is fascinating.
Bird lovers will want to keep an eye out for ospreys and
hawks. The protected piping plover and bald eagles have also
been spotted occasionally.
