Weather
You're not far from DC, but you're on the coast. So, yes, it does get hot and muggy in the summers (90s for temps and humidity), but you can take a dip in the ocean. In the winter, a lot of businesses close as the temperatures drop along with the occasional snow flurries.
Best Views
Watching the sun rise over the bay at Dewey Beach or eating a swanky sunset dinner at Victoria's (www.boardwalkplaza.com/rehoboth-beach-hotel-dining) on the Boardwalk.
Where The Girls Are
If it's summer, on the beach (the North Shores at S end of Cape Henlopen) with all the other women. If it's Sunday during the summer, hanging out at Frogg Pond. Every Fri-Sat all year, they're dancing at the Ladies Tea at Sky Bar.
