About this map

Rehoboth Beach and the neighboring coastal communities of Dewey Beach and Indian Beach occupy the narrow strip of land separating the Atlantic Ocean from the intricate waterways of Rehoboth Bay. The landscape is defined by its transition from oceanfront resorts to quiet marshland islands, including Big Reedy Island, Big Bacon Island, and Bush Island. The residential and commercial density of the Delmarva Peninsula is evident in the sprawling subdivisions of West Rehoboth, Shockley Heights, and Bald Eagle Village, which are connected by the prominent corridor of the Coastal Hwy.

To the south, the environment shifts toward more natural forms around Thompson Island and the shallow waters of Bacon Island Creek. Public and private waterfront access points like Massey Landing and Lingo Landing characterize the inland shoreline, reflecting the maritime culture of Sussex County. Smaller water bodies like Silver Lake and Lake Comegys sit just behind the primary dunes, providing unique freshwater habitats mere feet from the surf.
