My favorite things to do in Delaware are to go shopping, and to go to the beach.
Delaware is the only state in this area without a sales tax, so, in essence, everything is 5 to 8% cheaper than in the surrounding states. The outlet mall in Rehobeth Beach is one of my favorite places to shop!
There are several nice beaches, including Rehobeth, and Dewey Beach. Smaller than Ocean City, Maryland with less arcade commercialism, lots of family activities, these beaches are great fun to escape to!
There's a terrific state park, Delaware Seashore State Park, at Indian River Inlet, where you can camp, swim, fish and surf. When our sons were little, this was the only beach we could afford, and we've grown to love it.
From nearby Lewes, Delaware, you can take a great ferry ride across to Cape May, New Jersey, a quaint Victorian town.

My best pages are my Ireland pages - favorite place to visit <a href="http://www.virtualtourist.com/m/.65870/166/?s=i&DM=1">Kathy'sIrelandPage</a> ; and my home town area, Maryland, USA
