Delaware, known for its coastal beauty and charming towns, offers some fantastic road trip opportunities for families. Start your journey at Rehoboth Beach, where the whole family can enjoy the boardwalk, unique shops, and delicious treats. Head south along the coast to Cape Henlopen State Park for swimming, hiking, and exploring historic World War II observation towers.
Next, venture to Lewes, the “First Town in the First State,” with its scenic, historic streets and the chance to take a ferry ride to Cape May, New Jersey. Finally, follow the Route 9 Coastal Heritage Byway north to New Castle, where cobblestone streets, historical landmarks, and riverside views provide a perfect ending to your Delaware family road trip.
