Our family would love to do the beach thing this August...would you recommend Rehoboth or VA Beach for a family? We have children 3, 6, and 14... Also where would you recommend to stay at either of the beaches? Thanks you so much!
Rehoboth Beach OR VA Beach???You%26#39;re in luck. I grew up in Rehoboth and live in Virginia Beach. Both places are great. I like Rehoboth because it has an authentic boardwalk, as well as kiddie arcade/rides (perfect for kids your age). Is slower paced and is perfect for kids to be able to run around. It has a feeling of ';yester year';. There are also plenty of restuarants and shops. Rehoboth has one of the largest outlet centers in the United States. That being said, I find parking and accessibility harder in Rehoboth if you don%26#39;t actually stay down at the beach, but you will also find that there aren%26#39;t as many hotel choices at the beach. Most of them are out on Route 1. We are going back for a week in June and have booked a condo. Virginia Beach is beautiful and has a lot of resort hotels right on the strip. There is no ';authentic'; boardwalk. It has a couple of small kiddie ride arcades as well. Close by (5 miles from strip) is an water park called Ocean Breeze which is really great. There is also the Virginia Beach Marine Science Museum located pretty much in the same area. Personally my favorite is Rehoboth because of the boardwalk and the nostaligic feeling of it.
Rehoboth Beach OR VA Beach???you
oops...';edit';feature would%26#39;ve come in handy there! i was going to say..
you could stay in dewey beach (which has more beachfront accomodations than rehoboth does), and still have access to all the restaurants, shops, boardwalk, etc. you can just hop on the jolly trolley back %26amp; forth.
we have a place in dewey %26amp; i often just walk up, but it%26#39;d be too much for your little ones.
This is a good idea Dogmom and I didn%26#39;t even think about that option. Is there a boardwalk that goes from beach to beach? Believe it or not even though I%26#39;ve been into Rehoboth too many times to count, I honestly don%26#39;t remember ever going into Dewey or Bethany. I%26#39;m going to go back this spring and a friend of mine is going to take me to which ever one of those two that have the other boardwalk area. Also, aren%26#39;t you just back from a trip? Hope you had a good time.
no, dewey has no boardwalk. the boardwalk begins at the very southern end of rehoboth, just north of silver lake.
but walkers can easily use either the beach or the street...both are nice to walk.
the two towns are just side by side. bethany%26#39;s apiece down south.
our dewey place is on the north side in a residential area, with a fair number of year-round residents on our block. we bought there because it%26#39;s dog friendly, really. although we occasionally go into dewey proper,maybe for lunch at ruddertown , we much more often go to eat/shop/whatever in rehoboth.
i think the beach ITSELF is nicer in dewey, personally.
oh, and yes, we just got back from puerta vallarta with a total of 1,000 of our closest friends. nice time,,,however, i%26#39;m spending a lot of time on the phone with lost %26amp; founds in airports HOPING to find my camera! wish me luck, i HATE to lose two weeks of irreplaceable pictures!
