Rehoboth Beach/ Rehoboth Avenue Route

If you’d like a slightly shorter route than Junction & Breakwater Trail, you can always head East on Rehoboth Avenue and then make a right on 2nd Street or South 1st Street (slightly wider, easier road to traverse). Next, South 1st Street becomes Kings Street and if you follow it around to the right (Lake Drive), around Silver Lake, you’ll come to a stop sign. This is Bayard Avenue. Make a left and head South across the bridge. Finally, you’ll end up in Dewey in .5 to 1 mile. You’ll know it when you come to the traffic light. During the popular Summer season, it can become crowded with pedestrians and traffic, so be careful cycling. For the most current directions, map it on Google or check out these maps here.

You’ll want to plan ahead, especially if you have anyone under 18 years of age with you. Please heed the helmet law. Children under the age of 18 must wear a helmet while bicycling or in a trailer or bike seat. The helmet law also led to the formation of a bicycle helmet bank to provide free helmets to children who cannot afford to buy them. Helmets are available through the public schools, or you can contact the DelDOT bicycle coordinator at 302-760-2260.
