Rehoboth Beach and the Delmarva Peninsula shoreline define this coastal landscape where the Atlantic meets a complex network of bays and marshes. The area is characterized by dense residential developments such as Henlopen Acres, Shockley Manor, and Dewey Beach situated on narrow strips of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay. Historical drainage and water patterns are visible through features like Holland Glade, Bacon Island Creek, and Munchy Br. Moving south, the landscape shifts toward more tidal and marshy terrain, dotted with islands including Big Nose Island, Big Reedy Island, and Bush Island. This survey captures the intensive coastal development typical of the early 21st century, contrasted with the preserved natural areas surrounding Gordon Pond and Rehoboth Marsh.
