The Nation's Summer Capital
A seaside town shaped by tradition
Rehoboth Beach grew from a nineteenth-century Methodist camp meeting into one of Delaware’s most distinctive coastal communities.
An interpretive view of the simple cottages, meeting tents and coastal landscape that shaped Rehoboth's earliest years.
The Rehoboth Beach Camp Meeting Association was established in 1873, when Methodist leaders envisioned a seaside place for worship and renewal. Early streets and lots were arranged in a fan-shaped plan that still helps define the town center.
Read more about Rehoboth Beach history
Rail and ferry travel first brought more visitors to the coast, and the opening of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in 1952 made Rehoboth Beach much easier to reach from the Baltimore and Washington region.
Today, the boardwalk, beach cottages, arts scene, independent businesses and inclusive community give Rehoboth its distinctive mix of tradition and creative energy.
