[quote=Anonymous]As someone who currently lives in Lewes with teens, a lot of these posts are right on--
Bethany is pretty lame--- like DMV transplanted in the summer---not a ton of great things for teens besides the beach and a few mini golf places. People love Seacolony but I think of it as an old cruise ship on land.
  
Dewey is disgusting- total 20-something drunk party vibe. Parking is impossible and just gross at night.

Rehoboth is the best for teens IMO-my teens end up there with their friends if they want to hang out... if you get a house close-in, you don't have to worry about parking. Super easy to walk to a ton of restaurants, teens still like Funland and Jungle Jims (clean, well-run waterpark), and even though the beach can get crowded, you have a lot of options.  Cape Henlopen State Park is awesome and biking on the Junction Breakwater path will get you easily into the park for free.

Lewes is a cute year-round town (no seedy beach town vibe) but is sleepy at night.  The bay beach and the state park (Lewes side) are awesome, and you can drive away from the public bay beach parking and find free parking on the street with easy access to less crowded parts of the beach.

Between Lewes and Rehoboth, there is always outlet shopping, movies, mini golf, and go-karts.  The best is the outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, running, biking (rent ebikes!).

Summer is super busy no matter what and rentals are usually Sat-Sat so traffic is the worst then.  If you can travel to the beaches between Labor Day and Memorial Day, do that or try to avoid travel on the weekends![/quote]
