Quaint Beach Villages CAn Offer An Action Packed Vacation

By James Harden


For the family, you will find Delaware getaway houses and a variety of hotel and resort accommodations (and for the adventurous, camping destinations along the shore). For couples, the selection could be one of the nice Delaware bed and breakfasts that dot the Atlantic ocean. Either way, these are the very best places to begin your beach holiday along the Delaware shore.

Depending on what time they are planning to visit, people should plan ahead and book their Delaware beach rentals well in advance, particularly for the summer. Fortunately, there exists an Internet site that makes this especially easy. At HomeAway (http://www.HomeAway.com), tourists should find a unique application that makes it easy to research the perfect beach rentals. Using virtual sliders located on the side of the page, simply set the parameters according to price range (per week), number of bedrooms and bathrooms, how many shall be staying and the type of accommodation one is seeking (for instance a house, cabin, condo rentals, etc.)

Prior to choosing accommodations however, one should decide upon a destination - and Delaware has a variety of beach resorts and communities, each one offering its own distinctive holiday atmosphere.

For a more upbeat and dynamic experience that will be loved by your entire family, Rehoboth is a fantastic option. This is a small but spirited seaside area which includes its own mile-long boardwalk lined with arcades in addition to appealing specialty shops and unique cafes. For the youngsters, there is also a small amusement park by the water along with an old-fashioned small town pavilion where live music is offered regularly.

Rehoboth is not faraway from Dewey Beach, a popular 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 well known for its suitability for water sports activities including windsurfing and sailing.

Lewes is one more little 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 constructed Fort Miles, the biggest, most heavily armed coastal base inside the country (due mainly to the number of war-related industries around Delaware Bay, potentially at risk of German U-Boats which prowled the Atlantic Coast). These days, Lewes is home to a naval museum that attracts history buffs from all over. An added fascinating characteristic of Lewes is that the waters in the region are fairly calm, which makes it perfect for people with young kids who enjoy swimming.

For those seeking a more relaxed, laid-back holiday, we propose Bethany Beach along with Fenwick, Delaware's "Quiet Resorts." While these locations are considered family-friendly and feature a slower-paced atmosphere, they aren't deprived of facilities that the family will enjoy.

As it is easy to realize, the Delaware shoreline has quite a bit to offer in terms of variety of experience. Consider visiting in the off season to find the most inexpensive rates on beach vacation rentals, romantic getaways and other getaway rentals.
