The Joni Mitchell song “Big Yellow Taxi” has a line that goes: “They took all the trees, they put them in a tree museum They charged the people a dollar and a half just to see them.” Anyone who has been coming to Rehoboth since the before-time (pre-outlets) must be as horrified as I am about the rampant development and destruction of natural resources that has occurred here. What used to be a peaceful little town on the ocean is forever a booming mini-metropolis surrounded by the blight of commercialism and developers’ greed. Mercifully, an oasis remains. Henlopen Acres, a heavily deed-restricted community, is home to a property that has stood nearly unchanged since the mid-1700’s. We are fortunate that the Corkran family in 1938 left behind the legacy of the Rehoboth Art League. The ancient home and barn, while maintaining their historic integrity, have been repurposed into gallery and studio space, respectively. Just down the hill is a more recently constructed gallery that blends organically into the bucolic pine forest. All around, it is a refreshingly stark contrast to the madness only minutes away. Open year round, visitors can gaze at a continually changing exhibit of local artwork, much of it well-curated, and of high quality. Nearly every piece is for sale, and at surprisingly reasonable prices. There are also special events here like the RAL Outdoor show in August, and the Cottage Tour, one of the town’s best happenings. Visitors should take a break from the beach, boardwalk, and shops, and come visit the tranquil surroundings of the Rehoboth Art League. It will remind you why this area has been a getaway from hectic life for over 300 years.

The Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk is a great place to walk, bike, skate, or sit and people watch. It’s right on the ocean, with great views of the Atlantic Ocean. The boardwalk is loaded with dining, shopping, and more. I highly recommend a stroll.

WE make it a point to go to the farmers market on Tuesday and we go an hour early so the kids have plenty of time to play. Nice combination of equipment and most of it is in a shaded grove so it doesn't get blazing hot and there are benches under tress for the adults. Always a hit every year. And don't miss the farmers market - I think it has the best variety of any of the farmers market in the area.

If you want to take a great low impact bike ride pedal around Rehoboth’s famous Silver Lake. It is the largest of two natural lakes with a smaller sister Lake Getard north of town. There is ample bike lane around Silver Lake which makes for gorgeous vistas. Unfortunately the entire lake shoreline is private property but bike riding around is no problem. Walking the shoreline is not allowed. Enjoy nature and the lakes waterfowl all four seasons.
