Small Town Seaside Holidays Can Really Be Relaxing
For the family, you can find Delaware vacation properties as well as various hotel and resort accommodations (and for the adventurous, camping destinations along the shore). For couples, the selection may be one of the charming Delaware bed and breakfasts that dot the Atlantic coast. Either way, these are the best places to begin your beach holiday along the Delaware shoreline.
Depending on when they are planning to visit, people must plan ahead and reserve their Delaware beach rentals well ahead of time, particularly for the summer. Fortunately, you can find an Internet site that makes this especially easy. At HomeAway (http://www.HomeAway.com), visitors will find a unique tool that makes it stress-free to research the perfect beach rentals. Using virtual sliders located on the side of the page, merely set the parameters according to price range (per week), number of bedrooms and bathrooms, how many will be staying and the type of accommodation one is seeking (such as a house, cabin, condo rentals, etc.)
Before choosing accommodations however, one should decide upon a vacation spot and Delaware features a variety of beach resorts and communities, each one offering its own distinctive holiday atmosphere.
For a more upbeat and vigorous experience that should be loved by your entire family, Rehoboth is an excellent option. This is a small but lively seaside area containing its own mile-long boardwalk lined with arcades in addition to interesting specialty shops and unique cafes. For the kids, there is also a small amusement park near the water as well as an old-fashioned small town pavilion where live music is offered frequently.
Rehoboth is not far from Dewey Beach, a preferred Spring Break destination. Dewey Beach is unique in being situated on a spit of land flanked by Rehoboth Bay and the open Atlantic; the bay side of the community is recognized for its suitability for water activities including windsurfing and sailing.
Lewes is an additional small seaside town of historical interest; settled by Dutch whalers in the 1600s, it was bombarded by British Naval ships during the War of 1812. With the outbreak of the Second World War, the Defense Department created Fort Miles, the largest, most heavily armed coastal base located in the united states (due mainly to the number of war-related industries around Delaware Bay, potentially vulnerable to German U-Boats that prowled the Atlantic Coast). These days, Lewes is home to a nautical museum that draws history buffs from all over. An additional desirable characteristic of Lewes is that the waters around the area are rather calm, making it ideal for families with young kids who like swimming.
For all those in search of a more relaxed, laid-back holiday, we recommend Bethany Beach as well as Fenwick, Delaware's "Quiet Resorts." Even though these locations are considered family-friendly and provide a slower-paced feel, they aren't lacking attractions that the family will enjoy.
As you can see, the Delaware coast has quite a bit to provide in terms of variety of experience. Contemplate stopping by during the off season to find the cheapest rates on beach vacations, bed and breakfasts and additional holiday rentals.
