There are three major initiatives in place to improve transportation in the region. While the beaches have long served as free playgrounds for locals and tourists alike, it&#8217;s now possible to take a stroll along the Lewes historic district to build an appetite for shopping and restaurants. Here are a few ways that you can make the most of your vacation in Lewes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pinelands Trail Loop is a lightly trafficked, 1.8-mile trail near Lewes Delaware. It&#8217;s perfect for hikers of all skill levels, and is dog-friendly! The Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk is lined with old-fashioned family-friendly attractions and is the site of many festivals. It also provides a convenient place for a daily stroll. No matter what you do in Lewes, be sure to plan time for a stroll on the boardwalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Delaware Seashore State Park has plenty of places to visit, including the Prickly Pear Trail Loop. The trail winds along a beautiful lake and features a 3.5-mile nature hike. This loop is suitable for everyone. After completing this trail, you can take a leisurely stroll downtown. To get a feel for the town&#8217;s history, consider taking a stroll along the Delaware State Park. And, if you&#8217;re tired of rushing through the city, head to nearby Georgetown or Rehoboth Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather in Lewes is generally mild. Lewes lies on the Atlantic Coastal Plain, with weather moderated by Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It is known for its mild subtropical climate. There is also a ferry connecting Lewes to Cape May, New Jersey. During the summer, the Delaware River and Bay Authority offers a shuttle bus that will take you to downtown Lewes and to the Tanger Outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town has a quaint historic district. Throughout the area, you&#8217;ll find museums and shops aimed at educating visitors about the history of the area. There&#8217;s also a boat ramp, adjacent to the Roosevelt Inlet. The historic district also hosts many iconic lighthouses. Lewes also boasts a museum dedicated to preserving the area&#8217;s history. And, to top it all off, the Lewes Historical Society is devoted to the preservation and enrichment of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a city on the shores of Delaware Bay, Lewes is a popular vacation destination for Washington, D.C. residents. The town&#8217;s beaches are ideal for swimming, fishing, boating, and beachcombing, while Cape Henlopen State Park is close by. For those who prefer to stay on land, Lewes also has some beautiful old buildings and streets. The town&#8217;s unique heritage and culture will make you want to return to Lewes time again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the boardwalk, you can visit the Biggs Museum of American Art to enjoy a variety of art and history. If you&#8217;re interested in Delaware&#8217;s aviation history, the Air Mobility Command Museum is the right place for you. Or if you&#8217;re into the phonograph, you can visit the Johnson Victrola Museum to learn more about this historical technology. And, of course, Delaware has a wide variety of museums showcasing the state&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As tourism continues to grow in the region, Lewes Delaware is poised to become a much more popular tourist destination.
