Delaware Attractions for 4th of July Weekend (rail, beach, crowded)

[dhanu86]

I want to take my girlfriend somewhere in Delaware this weekend. I'm choosing Delaware because its out of state and I don't want any bad memories to be brough back from going to the Jersey Shore or somewhere we've both already been before.

I'm at the tourism Delaware site and I think we would like the southern beach area..

What's the do there? Whale watching? Kayaking? Biking? Interesting places to stop by?

Great idea... although I'll warn you the beaches are going to be just as crowded as Jersey this weekend.

Hit the bars in Rehoboth or Dewey, or both. Check out Lewes for the quaintness. Cape Henlopen State Park and Delaware Seashore State Park are nice beaches(though they're going to be REALLY crowded). Cape Henlopen has some nice trails if you get sick of lying on the beach.

Ride the Cape May ferry out of Rehobeth Beach and back.

You can never go wrong riding a ferry! LOL

I went to Henlopen Park and the sunset was beautiful. And we went kayaking about 5 miles north of Ocean city, md.. Didn't get to try the ferry, maybe next time.
