See the Sights

Known as the “First State”, Delaware is full of breathtaking sights, unique entertainment and interesting history to be seen and discovered during your day trip.

For the shopaholics, there are multiple tax-free outlet malls to enjoy in Rehoboth Beach, as well as local boutiques and malls throughout the entire state to make your day trip a shopping experience you won’t regret. If you’re looking for an adventure, visit Lewes and hop on the Cape Water Tours boat to see dolphins and whales in their natural habitat. For natural beauty that isn’t as crowded as most Delaware beaches, check out Fenwick Island for a gorgeous beach and convenient state park close by with plenty of family fun. Wherever your Delaware day trip takes you, there are many things to see, learn, and discover during your short time—you might just have to stay longer!
