Rehoboth Beach, DE

DC's beach - tax-free shopping and summer demand

Rehoboth Beach is the primary beach destination for Washington DC and Baltimore - a 3-hour drive market from 10+ million metro residents. Delaware's complete absence of sales tax makes it a shopping destination on top of the beach, and the boardwalk scene, outlet malls, and LGBTQ+-friendly culture create a diverse visitor base with strong year-round shoulder demand relative to comparably sized beach towns.
