Come for the Summer...Stay for the Fall!

Rehoboth Beach is known as “Our Nation’s Summer Capital,” but fall is when the real magic happens. Our “second summer,” is in full swing, when weather is amazing, restaurants start offering specials, and our calendars fill up with weekend events like sidewalk sales, craft fairs, 5Ks, and Jazz Fest. Here is just a sample of what’s in store this fall around Coastal Delaware. From Milton and Lewes to Rehoboth and Dewey Beaches, there is actually something for everyone.
