Rehoboth Beach: The Nation's Summer Capital on the Atlantic
Rehoboth Beach incorporated in 1891 as a Methodist camp-meeting community named after the biblical Rehoboth, meaning "room enough." The camp-meeting era ended within a generation, but the boardwalk, the Atlantic surf, and the summer hotels gave the town a different trajectory. By the mid-twentieth century Rehoboth had become a summer destination for officials and staff from Washington, D.C., which is roughly a three-hour drive west. The nickname "Nation's Summer Capital" traces to this Washington connection, reinforced by decades of federal officeholders maintaining homes in the town.
The Boardwalk runs about a mile along the oceanfront from Prospect Street to Queen Street, lined with Funland, Dolle's Candyland, Thrasher's French Fries, and the other amusement and food stands that have operated for several generations. The Bandstand, rebuilt after Hurricane Sandy in 2012, hosts free concerts throughout the summer season. Grotto Pizza, the Delaware chain founded in Rehoboth in 1960, still operates a boardwalk location near Rehoboth Avenue.
The year-round population is small, roughly 1,500, but summer weekends push the town's daytime population above 25,000. Tax-free shopping has drawn outlet malls along the Route 1 corridor west of town. The Rehoboth Beach Film Society and the annual Independent Film Festival in November extend the season beyond summer and operate out of the Cinema Art Theater.
