[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like Bethany and Lewes.  I don't understand the hate.  [/quote]

Me, either.  Bethany doesn't have bars, really, so it keeps the most obnoxious behavior away.  You can go to Rehoboth, Dewey, or OC for that.  Otherwise, it's very family oriented.  Quaint little shops, nice people, easygoing lifestyle.   Perhaps Lewes is similar? [/quote]

We're retiring to Rehoboth Beach. All three of these towns - Bethany, Lewes, and RB - have large retiree populations. I prefer RB because it is the largest (wow, 1500 families or something) but seriously is not as quiet as the others. Seems more like a real small town, with lots of community activities and non-profits year-round, ability to get all you need in-town, an easy walk or bike ride, yet even more resources on Rt. 1, right out of town. They all have a lot of DC / DMV retirees. See which suits your taste. RB is the most expensive, though. Lewes may have a CCRC - more full scale retirement, older living complexes, which is not what we'll want until we're closer to 80, 25+ years from now.[/quote]

I like Rehoboth, too. LGBT community is strong there, which is a big plus. It's too expensive for us to consider, though.[/quote]
