THE
BEACH
The Beach 
The
City of Rehoboth Beach is located on the Atlantic
Coast of Delaware.
Three miles south of the mouth of the Delaware Bay, and 17 miles north
of the Maryland state line. Rehoboth
Beach is open to the Atlantic Ocean but usually receives low to moderate surf.
In the absence of wind or storms, usual summer surf heights range from less
than one foot to around three feet. Winter
offers slightly larger surf conditions
with
six to eight foot surfs during Nor’easter storms.
Wooden
groins (jetty) that serve to reduce
beach erosion divide the two miles of beach.
Although conditions due tend to change with wave activity, there is
usually a steep grade from the water line, creating a shore
breakcondition
as the predominate wave formation pattern.
Water temperature
ranges from the mid to upper 50’s in late May to a high of around 70 degrees
Fahrenheit in late August. 1997
proved to have to warmest water temperature in several years, with reports of
up to 75 degrees.
The Beach is open access to the public with no tags or fees; vehicles are not permitted on the beach. A one-mile Boardwalk is located adjacent to the business district. Accommodations, eateries, arcades, and retail shopscan all be found on our famous Boardwalk.
