The best area to stay in Delaware really depends on your priorities, but for most visitors looking for quality and convenience, the coastal towns of Rehoboth Beach and Lewes are top choices.


Rehoboth Beach is a popular seaside resort, known for its kilometre-long boardwalk, sandy beach, and a wide array of dining and shopping options along Rehoboth Avenue. It's a lively town, especially during the warmer months, with plenty of activities for families. Many hotels and holiday rentals are just a short walk from the beach and the main attractions.


Families often gravitate towards Rehoboth Beach due to its family-friendly atmosphere. The boardwalk offers arcades, rides, and sweet shops, providing entertainment for all ages. The beach itself is well-maintained and offers ample space for building sandcastles and playing in the waves. There are also several mini-golf courses and fun parks nearby.


Lewes offers a more historic and relaxed atmosphere, ideal for couples or those seeking a quieter getaway. This charming town, located where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean, features a historic district with beautifully preserved 17th-century architecture, independent boutiques, and fine dining. It's also home to Cape Henlopen State Park, known for its scenic trails and fishing pier.


Couples often appreciate Lewes for its tranquil setting and sophisticated charm. Strolling through the historic district, exploring the local art galleries, or enjoying a meal at one of the upscale restaurants makes for a lovely experience.

The best time to visit Delaware is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to early June) and autumn (September to October).


These months offer pleasant weather, ideal for exploring the state's attractions without the intense heat and crowds of summer. You'll find comfortable temperatures great for walking along the beaches, visiting historic sites, or enjoying outdoor activities.


For those looking to enjoy the coastal towns and beaches like Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach, these shoulder seasons provide a more relaxed experience. The ocean water is warm enough for swimming in early autumn, and the boardwalks are less congested than during peak summer. Many shops and restaurants remain open, offering a good balance of activity and tranquillity.


Couples often appreciate the romantic feel of a spring or autumn getaway, with opportunities for scenic drives along the coast or through charming small towns.
