If you want to relax in a quiet place with no fuss, and the ocean wave greets you with a soft noise, then Rehoboth Beach is exactly what you need. For residents of Northern Virginia and Maryland, Rehoboth Beach is a good alternative to Virginia Beach. Two and a half hours from Washington, D.C., you will find a spacious beach with a magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean. This place can be called one of the friendliest and safest beach towns on the United States East Coast. Here, life flows calmly: cozy streets, friendly residents, the aroma of coffee on the waterfront, and endless sandy beaches.
Unlike the more famous resorts, it retains a small-town, friendly atmosphere, and reasonable prices for accommodation and food. The beach’s main attraction is the Boardwalk, a cozy and straightforward promenade about a mile long, along with cafes, shops, and family entertainment.
In addition to strolling the Boardwalk and lounging on the beach, you can find quiet natural areas and parks, such as Cape Henlopen State Park. Bike rentals are also popular, as they are the best way to leisurely explore the city and its surroundings, or popular bike routes such as Gordon’s Pond and Junction & Breakwater Trails.
A special pleasure is morning rides. At dawn, when the first rays of the sun paint the sky in golden and pink shades, the streets are still empty and the world seems to belong only to you. At such moments, a bike ride turns into a small family adventure: someone catches up with the one riding in front, slows down to catch a shot for a photo, and the children laugh and share their impressions.
Atlantic Cycles is a leading bike rental company in Rehoboth Beach with two convenient locations on the Boardwalk: 1 Virginia Avenue and 18 Wilmington Avenue. Atlantic Cycles offers a wide selection of bikes, including beach cruisers, comfort, road, kids’, tandems, and large sedans. In addition to the bikes themselves, accessories are included with the rental: helmets, child seats, bells, lights, baskets or bags for the handlebars, and locks. You need to reserve a bike in advance: usually 24 hours in advance, in which case you will definitely be able to get what you want. Open from April to October – daily from 9:00 to 17:00 for both locations. For details, see the official website.
