Update: i had a bad encounter last time. Today i came with some local friends to have a good time. But soon after they scan my id a guy at the door said that i can't get in because of my criticism last time!?People utilize fake name/account to post negative reviews, i don't, because it is what actually happens and I don't view why hiding my identity if it's true.-----13 months ago-----Horrible service!! Didn't comprehend the bar closes at 1am in Delaware, I was sitting near their outdoor porta potty waiting for ally to finish his business in there, the guy who clean up the table came to me with some attitudes and rude, instead of telling me they're closing nicely, he was simply tell me you can't rest there, you gotta go, because that particular table is not one of those the smoking tables and i need to abandon now, so i ask him we're at the outdoor area and I pointed groups of people that were still sitting, smoking and chatting proximate me. He told me that those tables few feet away from me are the smoking tables, so i say ok, then I'll just seize our drinks and move over, and he replied no, and said that he had already cleaned those tables, you either imbibe up or

Know Before You Go
Best Time to Visit
While Rehoboth Beach is a year-round destination, the most popular time to visit is June through August. If you prefer fewer crowds (like me), I recommend visiting in May or September during the shoulder season. Plenty of shops and restaurants are still open during this time but keep in mind some attractions may be closed or hold limited hours.
How to Get There
If you're flying in, the optimal option is to fly into Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), which is about a two-hour commute from Rehoboth Bea
Rehoboth Beach: tiny and tempting
It can’t be easy to label a place. Fancy a baby, how can you possibly know what your town will actually become? In this case, the founders of Rehoboth Beach got it right. “Rehoboth,” as its biblical origins show, is a “place for all.” Within the one-square-mile confines, the residents possess created a heated and inviting seaside community where homos can feel at home.
Rehoboth Beach is quaint. Like 1,500-people-during-off-season quaint. It’s a grower, not a shower. When the weather warms, the beaches and tree-lined streets fill with people, many from Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. If you’re looking for sex, sex, and sex, this isn’t the place. People go there for peace, not a piece. Which is not to say it can’t be found; it can always be found.
The small-town Rehoboth is low-key. You’ll find a diverse community that enjoys the things you miss in a big capital. As you saunter along the always-lively Boardwalk, you’ll see how the attractions seem to ebb with joy. Spendthrifts and big spenders both find the shops and restaurants to fit their needs. If you really want to shop, find your way to Road 1 and the outlet malls. A reminder

Rehoboth, with gay-accented bars like The Renegade and an entire section of its beach unofficially claimed by queer vacationers, quickly became a favorite. Men danced disco until the wee hours of the morning, experienced the tragedy of HIV/AIDS, and mobilized around a despise crime in the 1990s to fight for legal protections.
In this week’s piece - you’ll hear the voices of Steve Elkins, Max Dick, and Bob Hoffer from CAMP Rehoboth - which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. The CAMP stands for Create a More Positive Rehoboth.
