Overview You can't Edit
Users Assigned: KazmiAs the first state to ratify the US Constitution, and one of the original states that participated in the American Revolution, Delaware has a history stretching back over the decades to the very beginnings of the American nation. Despite being relatively small—second only to Rhode Island in terms of size— Delaware is nevertheless an important part of American history and culture, and features some of the most beautiful coastline and countryside in the entire U.S. From its railways to its coastlines and its history, it is definitely one of the most interesting states to visit.
Delaware is one of the few states that does not have any national parks, seashores, memorials, monuments, or otherwise. However, despite a lack of any national landmarks the state is a maze of wildlife refuges, museums, lighthouses, and a great number of historical buildings that showcase the colonial way of life. The area known as Rehoboth Beach, along with the state’s other beaches and resorts, has been dubbed “The Nation's Summer Capital” due to the great number of Washington D.C. residents who come here during the summer months for coastal activities and vacations.
In addition, Delaware is also known for its wide variety of festivals throughout the year. These range from the religious Big August Quarterly event to the jazz festival at Bethany Beach, or the Clifford Brown Jazz Festival at Rodney Square in Wilmington. There is the Punkin Chunkin, where pumpkins are shot out of high-powered air canons, trebuchets, catapults, and other launching equipment, and in Bridgeville one can find the Apple Scrapple Festival in October.
While summers are hot, and the winters are notoriously cold despite a lack of significant snowfall, spring and fall are the best times to visit the state, with the fall months being preferred by many due to a greater number of festivals and the beauty of the changing leaves in the countryside.

Rehoboth BeachLocated in the second smallest state, not known for its' tourist attractions Rehoboth Beach bills itself as the "Nation's Summer Capitol". Those not from Delaware understand this when they visit and realize the amount of Washington D.C. movers and shakers who pass through this little prize. As well as D.C., license plates common here besides Delaware are Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and even New York and a few places farther out on occasion.
A town of less than 1500 easily passes over 25,000 during the summer season, but never enough to be too big or too much for a relaxing getaway. The location pretty central on the east coast, the quaintness of the town, the long nice light powdery strip of sand, the many shops and boutiques and great eateries draw families, singles, and even a modern Gay crowd to its shore. There is also an old historical boardwalk with all the requisite beach junk/treasure from fries to salt water taffy. Rehoboth is busy enough to have a few dance spots but small enough not to lose its charm.
Besides the usual hotel motel chains, many rent rooms in converted homes, B&B's, and some stay at pricier hotels such as the Bellmoor, and The Boardwalk Plaza. From arts and crafts to musical events from Jazz to Rock and DJ, as well as a water park for the kids this is a true beach destination that doesn't oversell like some of the larger more generic destinations nearby such as Ocean City, Maryland. If you want it small, classy and cool, the Diamond state offers you its' gem.Rehoboth Beach, DE, USA
