Destination Rehoboth Beach and Historic Lewes, Delaware with Kyle on East Beck Street!
For a domestic, relaxing, getaway, check out lovely Rehoboth Beach and historic Lewes, Delaware. Where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean giving visitors two versions of seawater and beaches to enjoy while visiting this laidback and artsy, fun area.
I went there because one of my girlfriends, Beth, a native New Yorker, retired there after living in midtown Manhattan. The beach life (in season), cost of real estate and very little taxation appealed to her. She talked about the move for a number of years before buying a condo. For some unknown reason I did not think that it would be that special, but when I went there Labor Day weekend 2020, I discovered I loved it too!

The very walkable historic downtown with cute shops and restaurants. There is no sales tax in Delaware, so when you buy dinner or a product you pay exactly what the item costs. I definitely enjoyed that locational perk!
My friend Beth in front of one of the many breweries in the area - Crooked Hammock Brewery.
We enjoyed tasting wine at a local winery in Lewes called the Nassau Valley Vineyards.
After doing a wine tasting in the main building, you can buy a bottle or more of wine and enjoy a glass under the wooded area where they offer live music and also a farmers market!

We took a water tour along the canal that runs through Lewes to Rehoboth Beach.
Our friendly knowledgable Captain.
Lots of homes with boat docks line the canal.

Large birds build nests along the waterway.
Lots of festivals, live music and markets abound.
Some flower pots that would look great in German Village!
There are many outdoor dining opportunities along the water in Lewes.
Sunset!
New construction of housing developments is on steroids in coastal Delaware. This is one of the pools with a swim up bar and clubhouse at the development where Beth lives. There are lots of amenities at the new developments and both bay and ocean beaches are very close. With such an old town, there is also historic housing. There are lots of bike paths and nature walkways and the land is flat for those that don't want to bike or hike up hills.
With Delaware's beginnings in the early 1600's there are many historic sites along the coastline. You might even bump into President Joe Biden who has a summer house on Rehoboth Beach! I look forward to going again to relax and enjoy the beauty of this special place!
