Part of Rehoboth's popularity is due to her close proximity to several major population centers, Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia. All are only a couple of hours away. New York (quickly becoming one of Rehoboth's major feeder cites) is only a four hour drive. Add that to Rehoboth's many 4/5 star restaurants, luxury hotels, beautiful beaches, mile long boardwalk (voted best in the country by Reader's Digest - May 2006 issue), tax free shopping, low property taxes, mild year around weather and family friendly atmosphere you come up with the perfect vacation get away.
