Rehoboth Beach, (also known as the 'Nation's Summer Capital') is a popular, entrancing resort city located on the eastern shore of Delaware. Though this blissful city is complete with every accommodation one could desire or need, it still carries the sensation of a small town with an invitation on every corner saying; “ Welcome, come in and stay awhile and enjoy our bounty.” The first to enjoy this beautiful oceanside land, were the Native Americans as they'd travel and visit during the summer months to enjoy the cool ocean breezes, warm sun and vivid blue skies. It was not until the years of 1650 to 1675 that the English and Dutch settlers put their roots down and the land became home to many farmers and participants of the William Penn's earliest legislatures. In 1872, after the Reverend Robert W. Todd visited a camp meeting on the Jersey beaches, he decided to pursue the idea of starting a camp meeting himself on the Delaware shore. In 1873 he bought over 400 acres of land from the local farmers and began the Rehoboth camp meeting association. Soon, many others traveled to Delaware and began utilizing the grounds as well. In 1891, the Delaware General Assembly established a municipality for the land naming it Henlopen City, and months later, it was renamed Rehoboth Beach. The first paved road in the city was designed and implemented in 1925, creating new avenues of travel, especially to the city of Washington DC. This brought many legislators, diplomats and government employees to the beach area, thus came the nickname for Rehoboth becoming the 'Nation's Summer Capital'. Even with its tremendous growth over the years, Rehoboth has never lost it's charm or coziness. In 1873, the infamous boardwalk was built, a place currently that millions of people frequent from all over the world. This mile long, seaside gathering spot is a wonderful place to stroll with the sound of the breaking waves and seagulls clamoring, the smell of salt in the air, boutiques, eateries, and a birds eye view of the dolphins as they frolic and splash in the ocean water.
In the famous Dickens classic ghost story, A Christmas Carol, the beloved character Tiny Tim spoke the memorable words, “There was everything and more”. When one visits Rehoboth, those words ring ever so true, as there is an abundance of everything in this city to delight every one of the senses. Not only does this city offer vast sandy beaches, surfing, volleyball, sand castle contests, beach combing, prosperous fishing with a bounty of bluefish, rock fish, tautog, flounder and sea trout, but there is also all the advantages of city life.

For savory dishes to please every kind of palate, Rehoboth offers many diverse eateries, from formal dining to casual, or a quick bite of hot, cheesy pizza at the infamous Grotto's pizza, while strolling along the boardwalk. Vitoria's restaurant, nestled within the spectacular Boardwalk Hotel, is one of the beaches favorite and most popular places to dine. Victoria's is known for it's gourmet dishes, scrumptious Sunday brunches, afternoon tea, cozy bar with a fireplace, and for the ambiance of going back in time to the Victorian era, making each guest feel pampered, peaceful and like royalty!
