REHOBOTH BEACH
A biblical term meaning 'room enough', Rehoboth was first developed in 1872 by Methodist church leaders looking for a quiet place to hold religious summer campmeetings. By the 1920's, Rehoboth had become a popular resort for those escaping the summer heat of Washington D.C. and Baltimore. Rehoboth's boardwalk is the center of excitement.
