Sand, Sun and Fun: Best Delaware Beaches

New townhomes in Delaware: Less than 2 hours to beach paradise

Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner, and Delaware’s many beautiful beaches beckon with promises of sea, sand, sun, and tons of boardwalk fun. The Montchanin Builders strategically located their one-of-a-kind master planned community at Darley Green in the Claymont Renaissance District, where residents have easy access to multiple recreational, cultural, and getaway destinations. Only minutes from I-95, Darley Green homeowners are instantly connected to the main artery of the Northeast Corridor: 20 minutes to Philadelphia, an hour to Baltimore, and 2 hours to New York City.

One of the major advantages to purchasing new homes in Delaware(outside of having no sales tax!) is proximity to some of the nations’ top-rated beach destinations. And during the months from spring to fall, Darley Green residents are less than 2 hours by car from Delaware’s top-rated beaches and coastal attractions. From the family-friendly Rehoboth Beach, to one of the country’s best “secret beaches” (as rated by Travel + Leisure Magazine) in Bethany Beach, Delaware’s shoreline offers miles of sand, and a plentiful array of shopping, nightlife, dining, and activities for everyone to enjoy. 

Montchanin Builders’ new homes in Delaware: unique access to award-winning beaches

The Delaware shoreline is known for its natural beauty, from state parks to over 30 miles of unspoiled coast. Add to that relaxed resort areas featuring great hotels and affordable vacation rentals, endless boardwalk amusements, and evenings filled with fine dining, live music, and bonfires on the beach. It all adds up to the perfect summer retreat for singles, couples, families, and retirees alike. See why Delaware livingcan’t be matched when you visit these top beach destinations:

• Rehoboth Beach:  One of the premier family-friendly East Coast beach destinations, known for its quaint small-town atmosphere. Soak up the sun, surf the waves, or admire the leaping dolphins on the famous Rehoboth Beach. Kids of all ages can get their hearts racing at landmark amusement park Funland, where some of the rides having been thrilling customers for over 50 years. Adults can hit charming downtown boutiques or catch a shuttle to Tanger Outlets. Grab an ice cream cone or some boardwalk fries with vinegar and hear nightly music at the Rehoboth Beach Bandstand.

And remember those sunsets … the best view might be from the top of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse.
   
• Dewey Beach:  Small, tranquil and cozy … this picturesque one-mile stretch of beach draws many families and couples, but is also known for its jumping weekend singles scenes, when deck parties at The Starboard(rated one of the Top 25 Bars in America by Men’s Journal magazine) and The Lighthouse(home to the world-infamous “taco toss”) come to life.
