Summer at the BeacheS rehoboth, the Ideal of Seaside Fun If there’s an American summer ideal, walking through the hubbub of Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk on a hot summer day while savoring a funnel cake has to come pretty close. Known as “ the nation’s summer capital,” Rehoboth welcomes sunbathers, fun-lovers, and deal-seekers to its many attractions and shops. Right off the boardwalk, the legendary amusement park Funland has rides for all ages, classic midway games, and an arcade. Walk east from the beach for an endless variety of tax-free shopping and dining on Rehoboth Avenue, or head out a little farther to the 130 stores and designer outlets at the popular Tanger Rehoboth Beach .
