Best Beach boardwalk in Delaware??
Looking to travel by Delaware in summer. What's the best beach there for 1.5 day stay?
Nice walk on the boardwalk, breakfast, ethnic lunch and dinner....May be some historic places - not a must though.

Rehoboth Beach. http://www.dogfish.com/restaurant/index.htm
Best place to eat. My friends supply the meat for them and it is so good and raised correctly. Plus it is the best beer ever. I grew up there and Grotto's is a cult favorite. The owner actually taught me in High School when he was trying to get his first place started. Now he is everywhere. Boardwalk fries and Dolly's, I can smell the taffy. Bethany and Dewey are great but also visit Lewes.

The Grotto!!!! and back when none of the "gentrification" of the streets near the boardwalk was even a thought. It's hard to believe how much the town (Rehoboth) has changed since I worked as a bellboy at the Henlopen back in the 1960's but it was inevitable, for sure.

Dukey, The Henlopen! Wow. My uncle owned Throughgood's appliances on the avenue for many years. They moved and now do all the service work for Lowes and think still sell some higher end stuff. The cousins all have it now. I had three aunts or uncles living there but now only one left. So many great summers on olive st.

Oh, wow. That was just a little nostalgia trip for me. My family vacationed in Bethany all my childhood and took evening trips into both OC , MD and Rehoboth for fun boardwalk time. Fun Land--those little boats and blimps are still there from what I hear! You can still play skiball for a quarter. http://www.funlandrehoboth.com/
Dumser's Dairyland, The Alaska Stand, and some sandwich shop with a painting of Alfred E. Newman on the wall were all staples. The first two were in the OC direction. But the last, whatever that was called, was definitely in Rehoboth. (looked it up, it was Louie's Pizza).
My parents didn't like Grottoes pizza, though so we never went there but the lines were always really long.

I said boardwalk fries but yes Thrashers! I can smell them. Five guys does their fries the same way. The guy that ran Fun Land always paid his help a certain percentage and banked the rest for them to have at the end of the summer. Not sure if they still do but thought that was good. He had dorms for them also. Summertime at the beach.
