Dolles Candy Sign
511 Rehoboth Ave, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971
Dolles has been an iconic spot in downtown Rehoboth forever; like we are talking since the 1800s! If you visited Rehoboth in the past, their big red sign was handing high above the boardwalk. A few years ago, there was a change in location for Dolles, leading to the sign being taken down. It was an emotional topic in the area, but thankfully, the sign is still easy to find! As you enter into town and cross over the bridge, the Dolles Sign is on the side of the Rehoboth History Museum.

Lewes Lighthouses
Lewes, DE
In nearby Lewes, there are two photogenic lighthouses (Harbor Refuge Lighthouse and Delaware Breakwater East End Lighthouse) you have to check out.

At certain times of year, visiting The Point at Cape Henlopen State Park lets you see both at the same time (The Point is closed beginning of March-beginning of September).
