City advice
Getting around
Venture into Rehoboth on the weekdays for less traffic
Venturing into downtown Rehoboth in the summer is best on the weekdays due to traffic/parking. You will enjoy so much more space on the beach, boardwalk and have less wait time in restaurants on the weekdays.
Getting around
Getting around and avoiding traffic
Get to the beach on the weekends before 9:30 am on the weekends. If you to avoid traffic and parking into Rehoboth or Dewey Beach on the weekends, the Dart Bus from the Lewes lot on Rt 1 is an easy/safe way to get around.
If you want to plan a fancy night out w/ a town car, limo or party bus, we recommend Atlantic Transportation services.
