Rehoboth
Beach Boardwalk, Delaware
The Boardwalk, now a mile long, was originally built in 1873 on high ground
between the beach and Surf Avenue, which ran the full length of the ocean front.
Many storms have changed the configuration over the years, but in 1879, the
original Henlopen Hotel was built on the site now occupied by a hotel of the
same name. Reader's Digest named the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk as 'Best of
America.' This celebration of the quirky, amazing and truly extraordinary was
featured in the May 2006 issue.
