Delaware Travel Tips

Going "Downy Ocean": Head for the crowded beaches of Ocean City, Maryland (with all those restaurants, shops, and golf courses), or to the quiet public beaches of Rehoboth or Bethany, Delaware. Both have their charms. The sand is white and clean; the waves can be gentle or furious (watch for the red warning flags). The sand crabs are used to being dug up, and the seagulls will keep an eye on your snacks. (Don't give in and feed them—it can be pretty scary.)
Bicycling at the Delaware Shore: Grab a helmet and head onto Route 1 for a ride along flat road by the sea. Or, better yet, try one of the bike-accessible roads of the Assawoman Wildlife Area that go through marsh and forests.

Delaware Travel Guide

Maryland and Delaware are often overshadowed by their neighbors, including the nation's capital. But thanks to the always-dazzling Chesapeake Bay, ocean beaches, and gently rolling mountains, these two states offer plenty of outdoor charms. The cities of Baltimore, in Maryland, and Wilmington, in Delaware, are filled with intriguing museums, sophisticated restaurants, and delightful waterfronts that make for a romantic summer evening stroll.
