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 Bellmoor Inn & Spa is perfect for an overnight getaway
Located at 6 Christian St, it's right in the heart of Rehoboth Beach, within walking distance to most of the shops and restaurants that make Rehoboth Beach so amazing.
Rehoboth slows down a bit in the off season, sure, but that doesn't mean the town shuts down! With so many great events on the calendar, local businesses keep open year round.
Stroll around town and check out all of the shops.
From the Penny Lane shopping alley to the stores lining Rehoboth and Wilmington Ave, there's no shortage of shopping in Rehoboth Beach. You'll definitely walk away with some unique finds from these boutiques.
Shopping will work up quite the appetite, and luckily Rehoboth Beach is a Delaware foodie mecca.
Personally, I love Salt Air, but there are so many different restaurants in Rehoboth Beach, serving all sorts of cuisines, that you'll be happy with nearly any place you pick. So, let your stomach be your guide, and walk into any of the dozens of rustic restaurants you'll pass as you walk around town.
The Bellmoor offers various packages for their guests, including couples' spa treatments and in-room champagne. Make sure you arrange this ahead of time. The staff at the Bellmoor will go above and beyond to meet your requests and make your Delaware getaway special.

Even if the weather isn't cooperating, being holed up in the Bellmoor is an amazing experience.
I'll be honest - I sleep in on my getaways. But many people love to wake up before the sun and walk down to the ocean, where you can catch some of the most amazing sunrises on the East Coast.
When you're a little more awake, grab breakfast at any of the adorable cafes that are near your hotel.
Spend your second day checking out all of the shops you missed earlier. It's really amazing how many great places are crammed into just a few blocks of Delaware's most popular beach town, isn't it?
Now I want to pack my bags and disappear for a few days! Of course, if luxury living isn’t your style and you’d rather rough it a little bit, you can make a great two day Delaware getaway by checking out the some of the best campsites in Delaware.
