The best Margaritas at the beach ! The original location is in Lewes - expect a long wait but you can walk around the shops in town and they will notify you when your table is ready . The new location , located on Rt 1 in Rehoboth , is much larger , much noisier , but you’ll have a shorter wait time . The food and drinks are consistent at both . I prefer the ambiance of the Lewes location , personally !

The best pizza if you like your pizza NOT soggy or dripping with grease . The bruschetta is excellent , too ! Easy to get to - it’s located less than 5 miles west of the farm in the Georgetown Walmart shopping center , so headed away from beach traffic . A wide selection of antipasti, sides , salads, gourmet pizzas , subs, salads and entrees for take out or dine in .

Don’t let outward appearances deter you - this place has the BEST fried chicken around- makes Royal Farms chicken pale in comparison! Best for takeout - hamburgers are good, too , and there’s always a selection of yummy homemade desserts . It looks like just a gas station - but there’s often trouble finding a place to park because locals are picking up their lunch or dinner to go .

Featured on Robert Irvine’s “Restaurant Impossible” makeover TV show in 2020, this is a long time favorite of locals for breakfast , lunch and dinner . I recommend for their breakfasts - great pancakes and sausage gravy ! You can experience true “lower slower Delaware “ dishes for dinner like chicken and dumplings , Lima bean soup , and diner staples such as prime rib ,meatloaf , fried chicken , Mac and cheese, and seasonally : even muskrat ! Everything is homemade , including deserts . This is stick-to-your-ribs country cooking , with fresh seafood dishes offered also . Located away from the beach , on the Main Street in the small town of Ellendale. , 8 miles from the farm . www.thesoutherngrilles.com

Really good Thai cuisine . Two locations - both unassuming strip mall sites , one in Georgetown Plaza ( 6 miles west of the farm and away from beach traffic ) and the other is located right on Rt1, just south of the 5 Points intersection in Lewes . Food and Mai Tai’s are consistently good at both .

Lavender Fields is a great outing that costs nothing - unless you decide to purchase some lavender plants or items from the gift shop. Beautiful gardens to wander through! This lovely farm has rows and rows of lavender planted that bloom in June and are truly beautiful to see. The gift shop has many items made from lavender from the farm, as well as items made elsewhere but sold here. Great place to find a special gift or a gift for a hard to please person. I love their soaps and the Lavender Mist for linens and rooms. I've given their lavender tea and mustard, along with soaps and lotions, to friends and relatives and everyone always raves about the gifts.

Located on Saw Mill Road in Milton, Stenger’s Shamrock Farms Par 3 golf course is the perfect destination for those looking to squeeze in a round without using up four or five hours of valuable vacation time. Due to its short length and quick play time, Stenger’s is a good fit for those traveling with little ones without much golf experience, and it’s a favorite of senior citizens as well. Lowest greens fees around! Only 6 miles away, headed away from beach traffic.

Brittingham Farms Lavender and Lambs is a newly established and quickly growing family endeavor in nearby Millsboro . There are great things happening here - worth the drive to see the copper lavender still and to peruse the many plant and animal products created right on the farm - their lavender olive oil and lavender balsamic vinegars are amazing ! Stroll through the lavender fields to visit with the sheep and lambs and indulge in the delicious lavender vanilla or lavender chocolate ice cream afterwards .

Only 5 miles east , right on Rt 9. The best ice cream, period . During peak times expect to wait in line , but it’s worth it , really !! Seasonal special flavors with local fresh fruit . Sadly , the cows are no longer on site, but the ice cream is still made right here . Look up for the silo with the ice cream cones painted on it !

Sightseeing

The most beautiful beaches in Delaware with miles of paved trails throughout the woods and dunes for walking and biking . Climb one of the WWII lookout towers for panoramic views, and explore the fort with its old barracks and big guns . Lots of interesting history here where the towers guarded the entrance to the Delaware Bay from German submarines !
