At just over 1,500 residents, it’s not exactly bustling with activity. But what it lacks in size, it makes up for with quaint cottages and sprawling mansions, scenic views of the ocean on one side and lush forest on the other.

Founded in 1873, this small beach town has all the ingredients for the perfect summer getaway.

Its main attraction is the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, which features a delightful array of shops, restaurants, and hotels. There’s even an amusement park with carnival rides and an arcade.
