Sun, surf, and sand are just a few of the reasons why Delaware’s Rehoboth Beach is known as the “Nation’s Summer Capital.” Popular with retirees, tourists, and families, this summer beach town is home to white-sand beaches, tax-free shopping, and a one-mile-long boardwalk that is dotted with shops and restaurants.
