[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly can’t imagine driving 4 hours through traffic and all you get is mediocre Delaware beaches.  You have to really be obsessed with the ocean to find that even halfway worth it.  [/quote]

Most people in the DC area who do this, don't drive at peak times because they don't have to. Ergo, the drive is a solid 2:15-2:30 and not much of an issue.[/quote]

You hear this all the time but it's just not true.  Unless you live in PG County and you're driving in the middle of the night in the middle of the winter, it's not 2 hours and 15 minutes to the Delaware beaches from anywhere in the DMV.  At least not anywhere where most people in the DMV who can afford a second home in the DE beaches choose to live.  [/quote]

DP here, our best time from our NWDC home was 2 hours and 5 minutes during an off peak time. It was regularly the 2:15-2:30 the pp indicated.[/quote]

Nope.[/quote]

Google maps says it's 2:30 if you leave from upper NW DC at 11:30pm AND drive the posted speed limit to Rehobeth.  If you were to drive 5 miles over the posted limit in every area, then you would reduce your travel time by roughly 10% or 15 minutes...it's safe to say many people drive more than 5 miles per hour over the posted limit, but let's settle at 10mph...which now reduces travel time by 30 minutes.[/quote]
