Tourists to Delaware may recall the scene in the movie "Wayne's World" where Wayne and Garth discuss various vacation locales in front of a "green screen" background. After making imaginary visits to several exotic locations, the "green screen" puts them in Delaware, where the two become confused and quiet. However, the state of Delaware has some incredible assets that make it a great vacation spot for residents of Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and other parts of the mid-Atlantic area: its beaches. You can find out everything you need to know about the Delaware shore with 4G service.
Located primarily on Delaware's Route 1, which runs from the capital, Wilmington, down the state's border with the Atlantic Ocean, Delaware has several distinctive beach towns, each with their own character. As you drive from north to south, the first town you will encounter is Lewes, the oldest town in the area (founded in the 1600s) and probably the most "old money" part of the Delaware shore. The town features some interesting historical architecture, especially in its "downtown" quarter, but is really just more of a quiet, dignified place to relax and enjoy the water more than anything else. The nearby Cape Henlopen beach is also popular with lesbian vacationers.
The next town south of Lewes is Rehoboth Beach, the biggest town on the Delaware shore, and an alternative to the hustle and bustle of Ocean City, MD, which lies immediately south of the Delaware shore. Rehoboth Beach is the most "urban" of the shore towns and has a number of upscale hotels, bed and breakfasts, and restaurants in its center. It is also known as being an especially welcoming place for gay tourists, with several gay bars and clubs downtown and "Poodle Beach," a predominantly gay beach, located at the far end of its boardwalk. Rehoboth Beach also features what is one of the area's main attractions for many people: an outlet mall which rivals its peers in many more heavily populated areas.
South of Rehoboth Beach lies the infamous Dewey Beach, a popular "spring break" vacation spot popular with young beachgoers. Dewey's nightlife is best avoided by those who would not consider themselves especially young, or young at heart, as the constant partying can make it a difficult place to sit back and relax. Luckily, south of Dewey Beach (and separated by a long stretch of undeveloped shoreline) are Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island, known collectively as "the quiet resorts." With a smaller, laid-back feel, these beaches provide a great balance between fun and relaxation for many people, although singles and younger people looking to party may feel stifled in these areas.
The hardest part of vacationing at the Delaware shore will likely to be choosing a beach house or hotel. Luckily, wireless Internet service will allow you to quickly and easily browse listings, as well as do more research on which Delaware beach town will help you have the best vacation. Although you may feel like the Delaware shore is a small-time place, as Wayne and Garth do, Delaware has 4G internet service and all the amenities you would expect from a first-class beach area.
