Fenwick Island is one of Delaware's best beach towns! Located in southern Sussex County, this town doesn't get quite as crowded as Rehoboth or Dewey Beach, even in the middle of summer. Enjoy some relaxing beach time in the state park, or in the town itself.

Arden Club

Arden is an artists community — and its resident's talents are on display year round in their chosen "gilds"! In Arden, a gild is a group that focuses on one particular talent or event. For example, you can attend a concert hosted by the Concert Gild or watch a performance by the Shakespeare Gild!Read a little more about Arden and its many gilds right here.

Delaware City is a charming waterfront town that's one of the few places in New Castle County where you can really get that small town feel. Take the boat over to Pea Patch Island to step back in time at Fort Delaware, or pick crabs on the water at Kathy's or Crabby Dick's. If you like ghost hunting, you'll enjoy spending time in Del City — it's the state's most haunted town!
