Sunrise to Sunset at the Beaches

Grab your camera, because the Delaware beaches are known for their great sunrises over the water, as well as spectacular sunsets over the Inland Bays. Here are a few favorite spots:

bethany beach

Bethany Beach : Grab a cup of coffee at 3bb Café and head out to the beach to begin your day with a spectacular view. Or take in the sunrise from the comfort of your cozy room at Bethany Beach Ocean Suites

Rehoboth Beach : Visiting Rehoboth Beach when the boardwalk is calm, and the sky is beautifully painted is a type of relaxation worth waking up for. After your sunrise exploration grab a latte at Rise Up Coffee Roasters

Water Taxi Sunset

Cape Henlopen State Park : The ocean waves, the Breakwater lighthouse, and the bright colors the morning brings makes Cape Henlopen State Park a bucket-list sunrise destination. 

Big Chill Beach Club

Delaware Seashore State Park : The perfect golden hour moment includes something like cold drink chilling on the deck at Big Chill Beach Club while you watch the sunset beyond the Indian River Inlet Bridge

Dewey Beach : Hear the sounds of live music play at The Rusty Rudder while taking in the incredible orange glow of the bay sunset. A walk out on the dock and a golden sunset are good for the soul. 

Lewes : A day full of exploring Lewes will be capped off with a breathtaking sunset over the bay.  Local tip: walk along the Lewes CanalFront park to capture the colors reflecting on the water. And for a sweet experience grab a cone from Kings Homemade Ice Cream 

Fenwick Island State Park : Lay a blanket down and enjoy a quiet sunset glisten over the bay with your toes in the sand at Fenwick Island State Park. Or for an adventurous exploration join Coastal Kayak for a sunset kayak tour.
