Middletown is one of the most charming towns in the state! With plenty of restaurants, historic buildings, shops, and the Everett Theater, you'll never run out of things to do when you visit. It's especially fun to visit in October, as it's the best Halloween town in Delaware.

5. Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach
While some might consider the Boardwalk to be Rehoboth's Main Street, I think Rehoboth Ave makes a strong case.

You can find all sorts of great food and shopping here, and you'll only ever be a few steps away from the beach. Learn more about Rehoboth Beach, the friendliest town in Delaware.
