Two Great Beaches in Delaware
By Nate Feldman
I just returned from a short trip to the Delaware beaches in the southern part of the state. I was at both Rehoboth beach and the Delaware Seashore State Park. Although the beaches are only a couple of miles apart, there are many differences between them.
Rehoboth refers to itself as the Nation's Summer Capital. People from many places gather there for not only its beaches, but also its boardwalk, which is filled with many restaurants, ice cream stands, shopping places, amusement parks, and arcades. Because of this, the area is often quite crowded. There are many hotels in Rehoboth for the visitors.
The Delaware Seashore State Park also attracts a lot of people, but it doesn't have a boardwalk or any shops. The park just has a beach and seems to be a bit more pristine than Rehoboth. And while the smaller crowds may have been the result of an afternoon thunderstorm on the day I went, it seems a lot quieter than Rehoboth. There are no hotels there, but people are permitted to camp there.
Despite their differences, both places are enjoyable and each offers something the other place lacks. So, if you are in southern Delaware, you should visit both of these wonderful attractions.
