If you live in Delaware, you know that the best time to visit Rehoboth Beach is in the fall. Whether you’re there for the Sandcastle Competition, Fall Sidewalk Sale Weekend, Jazz Festival or even the Sea Witch Festival, the best Rehoboth Beach weekends happen well after Labor Day, when the tourists go home and the locals can finally enjoy their beach.
Because of how exciting Rehoboth Beach is in the fall, an overnight trip is the perfect 2-day getaway in Delaware this time of year. You’ll get to relax, away from the usual crowds of Rehoboth’s summer season, while also getting to enjoy one of Delaware’s best towns. For an overnight getaway to Rehoboth Beach, you really can’t beat the Bellmoor Inn & Spa, just two blocks from the water.

The next morning, you’re in for a treat if you’re willing to wake up before the sun.

When you’re a little more awake, grab breakfast at any of the adorable cafes that are near your hotel.
Facebook / Cafe Papillon Cafe Papillion is my pick - their fresh fruit tarts are a great breakfast treat, and their crepes are homemade and absolutely perfect.
