Thinking about extending your stay in Delaware after NERIC?
Luckily for you, Delaware has you covered!
Bethany Beach

Home to Delaware’s six beach towns , each with their own unique style! Try Rehoboth Beach, home of Dogfish Head Beer and a scenic beachfront Boardwalk. In Lewes, the Cape Henlopen State Park offers beaches, camping, free bike rentals, and miles of hiking trails.
