Delaware – Beaches and exceptional beauty
Delaware
There are beaches, beautiful scenery, and duty-free shopping.
Delaware has a lot to give in a short amount of time and for less money. It has beautiful homes, clean beaches, and tax-free shopping. Delaware has a lot of unique choices for busy, budget-conscious travelers that they won’t find anywhere else on the East Coast of the United States. In the north, there are the luxurious Du Pont family estates, and in the south, there are family-friendly oceanfront resorts. This state is right in the middle of the busy Mid-Atlantic area, and international airports, Interstate 95, and the AMTRAK rail network are all close by. Take advantage of the endless finds that the area has to offer, no matter what you want.
You can kayak through parts of Trap Pond State Park that have bald cypress trees. At the Go Ape action course, you can jump from the trees like Tarzan! You can go fishing, discover a beautiful wildlife refuge full of migratory birds, or paddleboard through Delaware’s calm inland waters.
Shopping sessions in duty-free stores
You can treat yourself while saving money at Tanger Outlets’ brand shops, Christiana Mall’s high-end stores, or the cool shops in Delaware’s cute small towns and resorts.
Visit one of the Du Pont family homes to feel like you’re in the luxurious era of the golden age. Winterthur has many rooms filled with objects from that time, and Nemours has French gardens. Find out about the gunpowder factory that started the DuPont Co. business at the Hagley Museum, which is in a village that has been kept in good shape on the Brandywine River. Then go to the Delaware Art Museum and look around at old paintings by Wyeth and Pre-Raphaelite artists.
Discover the hidden gems of historic downtown New Castle or Dover, which still bears the marks of Delaware’s colonial past. At the Air Mobility Command Museum, you can learn about the air forces that helped the country win the war. At the new Delaware National Monument, you can learn about the exciting stories of the fight for freedom.
The coastal areas and softly beautiful rising hills of Delaware are what makes the state so beautiful. You can fully enjoy it by taking a walk through the Ashland Nature Center, the Mount Cuba Botanical Gardens, or Cape Henlopen State Park, where the sands are kissed by the waves.
