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.

My wife and I visited the Life Saving Station Museum at Indian River recently. The fee is nominal to get in and is worth it to help keep this historic site available to the public. We learned a lot about what these surfmen did and how they saved those people shipwrecked off the coast. We learned their techniques and the equipment they used. A tour of the building gave us a first hand view on what their lives were like. Great place.

Funland is a family amusement center located on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. A family owned and operated business since 1962, Funland provides family fun at reasonable prices for those who visit us each summer. The park offers great entertainment for the whole family, featuring 19 rides, 14 midway games, a redemption center, Skeeball, and an arcade. Our season begins Mother's Day Weekend and runs through Labor Day. In the early part of our season (May into June), our closing time varies; we reserve the right to close early due to factors such as weather and lack of crowds! Normally in season, July 4th - Labor Day, we close around 11 PM.

We were very happy that Funland opened the park in time for our trip to Rehobeth. Funland is limiting the amount of customers by requiring you to purchase wristbands prior to arriving at the park. Every ride has a hand sanitizer station and all of the ride operators did a great job making sure every rider sanitized their hands and were wearing facemask before they were allowed onto the individual ride. The lines at Funland are greatly reduced being that the park is restricting the amount of customers through the wristband program. We still had to wait to ride some of the rides but the wait times were drastically improved from normal operating conditions. The only ride that was not available that we normally ride was the SIM ride. I imagine that there would be no good way to enforce social distancing on that ride. Over all I give the owners and staff of Funland very high marks. Funland took the current health concerns very seriously and was able to provide a good time at the park. Thank you Funland for keeping our family tradition alive in these difficult times.

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.

What a treat to finally visit the Rehoboth Beach Museum after decades of visits to Rehoboth. We were greated at opening1000 by the museum curator who gave us a guided tour from Indian, Dutch, and English settlers, pre World War One, World War II, to the 1950s, 70s, through present day. The museum was a easy half hour visit with historical displays for kids to adults. Well worth the walk and time. If you enjoy local history this is a must stop. The hurricane survival exhibit is amazing! ????????????????
