The boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, is exactly one mile long (1.6 kilometers). Built in 1873, it is widely considered one of the most iconic "classic" American boardwalks. In 2026, it remains a bustling pedestrian thoroughfare lined with traditional beach favorites like Grotto Pizza, Dolle’s Candyland, and the Funland amusement park. The boardwalk is a continuous wooden structure that provides a scenic, unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean and is flanked by a wide, clean beach. It serves as the "heart" of the resort town, connecting the northern residential areas to the southern state park boundaries. Because of its manageable length, it is a popular spot for morning jogs and "people watching" in the evening. In 2026, the town continues to enforce "no cycling" or "no skating" rules during the peak summer hours to maintain a safe environment for the thousands of families who walk the mile-long stretch daily during the vacation season.
