This converted railway is now a densely shaded walk/bike path that runs for four miles through oak, hemlock, pine and maple trees before finally winding past agricultural fields along the ocean.

Rehoboth Beach has long been a queer-friendly destination and the best place to see the hot gay men who flock to the city by the thousands is at Poodle Beach. It can get crowded during the season but the vibe can’t be beat. Lesbians tend to prefer North Shores Beach.

The famous Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk stretches more than a mile along the coast and is lined with shops, restaurants, arcades, amusement parks, and other entertaining attractions. You can even sign up for surfing lessons at Delaware's only Boarding School.
