Where to stay in Rehoboth Beach
A friendly, low-key boardwalk town about three hours from DC, with a long-established gay scene, good restaurants and a mostly gay stretch of beach at Poodle Beach. Summer is busiest; September brings Bear Weekend and warm water with fewer crowds.
Rehoboth Guest House
Maryland Avenue, downtown
A 13-room, gay-owned bed and breakfast for adults that has hosted guests for decades, a short walk from the beach and Rehoboth Avenue. Porches, a sun deck, outdoor showers and a hot buffet breakfast give it an easy, sociable guesthouse feel.
Official siteAvenue Inn & Spa
Wilmington Avenue, downtown
A family-run hotel a block from the boardwalk with an indoor heated saltwater pool, a spa, full breakfast and a daily wine-and-cheese hour. Comfortable and well located for walking everywhere, and a good off-season option.
Official siteAtlantic Sands Hotel
Baltimore Avenue, on the boardwalk
A big oceanfront hotel on the boardwalk with an oceanfront pool and beach bar, and the longtime hub for Rehoboth Beach Bear Weekend events. Choose it for direct beach access and room to spread out.
