[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started going to Rehoboth about 10 years ago with my IL's. I never saw it as the upscale place as they kept saying it was. Those beach trips stopped a few years ago. Now DH, kids and I go to Bethany. There is a difference in people who visit both beaches. [b]Bethany is decidedly more white[/b], upscale preppy. Rehoboth - especially on weekends - does seem to have the Ocean City crowd vibe to it.

I wouldn't want to spend a week in Rehoboth, but it's still fun to go there one evening while we are at Bethany.[/quote]

We are a black MD/PhD couple new to the area.  We've been to Rehoboth once before with our toddler, but it seems that the presence of people who look like us is reason for some to avoid the area.  We're heading to MV this year instead.[/quote]

Sorry to derail - I am close with 3 black upper middle class families who all vacation in Martha's Vineyard every summer (not together)...I know it's beautiful but does it have a reputation for being particularly welcoming to black families? Just curious as I don't seem to have any white friends that vacation there and I've always thought of it as the pinnacle of WASPy. Is it because it was the Obama's preferred vacation destination on the east coast that it gained popularity for black families? [/quote]
Oh my. Maybe you should google Sag Harbor.[/quote]

Sag Harbor is in the Hamptons.  All of the beaches in the DMV are tacky.....you people are either delusional, have very low standards or have never been to a proper beach.[/quote]
