My family has enjoyed summers in Rehoboth Beach since 1946 when my grandparents purchased a modest summer cottage on 6th Street. Upon graduating from Virginia Tech in 1991, I packed my bags, headed straight to the beach, and quickly made my summer home my permanent home. Though farmland has since developed into shopping centers, restaurants, condominiums, and hotels; and small cottages are being replaced by larger homes; Rehoboth has managed to keep the small-town charm I love. Boats I piloted around Funland's mermaid are still making their rounds. Our daughters ride the same carousel both my mother and I enjoyed as children, walk the same beaches, and enjoy the Atlantic sunrise. Whether you are interested in fine dining, family fun, local theatre, shopping, sandy beaches, or just quiet relaxation; Rehoboth, nearby towns, and State Parks have endless opportunities to make memories. I hope you and your family enjoy discovering all this wonderful community has to offer. Most importantly, take a breath, slow down, and enjoy each other. And, what better place to do just this than a small hometown by sea, by the beautiful sea . . .
