This list will be wrong if we don’t include the most iconic Boardwalk in Delaware: the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk. It’s widely known as the best Boardwalk in the world! 

Imagine walking on the beachfront with a lot of seagulls flying freely over your head. It’s like straight from a scene in a movie! Perfect for slow-motion reels that you can share with your friends!

And not only that, Rehoboth Beach is filled with local music bars and drinks and the best restaurants you can eat in Delaware, as well as amusement parks that your children will surely love! And oh, don’t you forget to grab that tasty french fries of Thrasher’s, you’ll surely get rid of ketchup forever in your friends!

2. Bethany Beach Boardwalk

If you find Rehoboth Beach a little bit too crowded because of its fame, then you can take your family to Bethany Beach Boardwalk, as it's more family-oriented and the kids will enjoy it. 

Bethany Beach doesn’t have the loud vibrant attitude of the music bars, so it’s more of an introspective walk with your family on the boardwalk. It could still get crowded in the summer, but you can have the beach by yourself during the off-season.

Make sure to check out the Cottage Cafe as it's very iconic to the Bethany Beach Boardwalk.

3. Wilmington Riverwalk

Boardwalks are not limited to beaches. If you don’t want sand in your eyes, check out the Wilmington Riverwalk. It’s not just one of the best boardwalks in Delaware, but it's one of the best riverwalks in the entire country. 

As you stroll this pretty waterfront walkway, you'll be able to see museums, board a paddleboat, and dine along the waters. When you walk into the quieter sections, you’ll see hidden statues in the trees and cute birdhouses that portray the iconic houses of the First State. 

If you want a unique experience, make sure to board the Riverboat Queen. It’s quite seasonal though, but it's a dining ship that will cruise across the entire Christina River!

4. Bombay Hook Boardwalk

Now, for the nature lovers out there. If you want a boardwalk that is far away from the urban chaos and closer to nature, the Bombay Hook Boardwalk will never disappoint you. 

A birder’s dream, you can sit on the wonderful benches as you witness flocks of migratory birds pass through the International Flyway. You’ll see about 250 species of birds in the marsh, in the waters, and see them rest from their Atlantic journey. Make sure to stay on the trails and bring a camera and binoculars to safely witness this natural wonder of Delaware.
