What People Say: Tell us what you love About Delaware

“I love driving down Rehoboth Avenue on a Friday night in the summer... the great smells from some of the best restaurants around, the fun. Delaware is truly a Small Wonder. And I am certainly glad my family and I live here to experience it. You should too.”

“ I grew up on the Oregon Coast and have been in Delaware for 3 years now. I LOVE that I can lay and swim on the beach without a wet suit or a hoodie! The weather here is always beautiful and the beaches are gorgeous! Everyone is so friendly and there is so much to do! The food, the shopping, the local events... I love living here at the beach! ”

“ Love the beach. ”

“ Low taxes.... Nice weather! ”

“Location”

“ We have everything you could ever dream of to do here year round ~ Film Festival, Kite Festival, Seawitch Festival, Coast Day, Autumn Jazz Festival and it all begins and ends with the ocean as our horizon and our center. And when I get the itch to feel "the big city"...I have four of the best choices in the world within a 2 to 4 hour drive (Philly,Baltimore,DC & NYC). What better location could there be on the East Coast? ”

“The stores the farmland country roadside beaches Lakes great scenery what I love about Delaware”

“Peace”

“ We've lived here for almost 20 years now, and I still feel like I'm on vacation every single day. We had a good life back in the D.C. area, but found a better life here. I love everything about here ~ the sun, the surf, the sand, the creeks & marshes, the natural beauty surrounding us, the wonderful people. What a treasure little Delaware is ~ for all of us "locals" and visitors alike. It just doesn't get any better than this! ”

“beach fishing”

“ You can go for a walk on the beach at Cape Henlopen State Park in the morning then take a leisurely drive to have lunch on the Chesapeake Bay on the Eastern Shore of MD in the afternoon. DE has it all. Going on 7 yrs of blissful living... ”

“ I love boating in the canals and bays in Delaware. It's a part of Delaware that many people never see that is incredibly beautiful and peaceful. On weekends in the summer, my wife, kids, and I take our boat down the canal from Lewes into the Rehoboth Bay and just go exploring all the areas of the Bay and canals that branch off the bays. It really is a special part of Delaware that many people never get to experience because they just don't know what they're missing. ”

“ I love the slower pace than that of NJ...the people here are so welcoming. Have been here 16 years and don't look back a day! Moved from the mountains and yes I miss them but the trade-off is our wonderfully clean and beautiful white sandy beaches on the DE bay and the Atlantic ocean! Life is good in Sussex County!! ”

“I have traveled a great deal in this country and internationally - and each time I am glad when I see the Delaware sign indicating I am home. Opportunities to be active in volunteerism abound. My favorite is the Delaware Lions. They work hard to provide sight and hearing equipment, testing and research for the people of the world.”

“close proximity to NY, NJ and Maryland”

“Ocean views and bumming around”

“ I love the way the shore lifestyle can transform someone from a "Battle-Hardened", corporatized tough-guy to a fun-loving, deep-breath taking, and enjoyable person who takes pride in calling everyone they meet by their first name! The Ocean has that affect on people! ”

“ The best thing about Delaware is the people – the beach brings out the kid in everyone. ”

“ I can't think of ONE thing I love about DE. There are way too many!!! I love the small town atmosphere of living at the beach, knowing everyone, the beach, the walking, the biking, the golf, the kayaking, the food, the people, and did I mention the food??? I wake up and say "just pinch me, this is too good!!!" ”

“After retirement, you have to start doing things for yourself and I can say that moving to Delaware is one of the best things I’ve ever done – for me. In our community, we celebrate everything for everybody: birthdays, anniversaries, or hey, it’s Tuesday, let’s get together. I’ve made a whole family of friends here.”
