Some of the best vacation plans start with a simple question: “Where should we eat?”
At Beach View Hotel, you won’t have to go far to find an answer. Our location on Wilmington Avenue puts you just 150 feet from the beach and boardwalk, with downtown Rehoboth’s restaurants, shops and familiar favorites within easy walking distance.
In October, that makes for a getaway with plenty of possibilities. Take a walk by the ocean, browse a few shops and let lunch turn into a leisurely afternoon. Later, head out for dinner knowing a comfortable room and a friendly welcome are waiting nearby.
Whether you’re revisiting a favorite table or trying somewhere new, here are four places to add to your plans.
1. The Pines Coastal Tavern: Settle In for Dinner
A stroll over to Baltimore Avenue brings you to The Pines Coastal Tavern, where coastal classics, seafood and creative American dishes offer plenty to choose from.
It’s a good option for an evening when dinner is part of the outing: a chance to settle in, catch up and enjoy time together over a meal.
Pair it with a little downtown browsing beforehand, then take your time heading back to Beach View.
Address: 56 Baltimore Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971

2. Tiki Jac’s: A Little Fun on Rehoboth Avenue
For a casual meal with some personality, head to Tiki Jac’s Street Eats & Brews on Rehoboth Avenue.
Its menu brings together tacos, burgers, sandwiches and shareable bites, alongside beer and specialty cocktails. It’s an easy choice when everyone wants something a little different—or when a walk through town leaves you ready for a relaxed lunch.
Sometimes the best part of a beach getaway is finding a table, ordering something good and seeing where the afternoon takes you.

3. Above the Dunes: Keep the Ocean in View
Not quite ready to leave the beach behind? Make the view part of your meal.
Above the Dunes overlooks the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk and ocean, with a seafood-forward menu that also includes burgers and flatbreads.
It’s a natural fit for a coastal getaway: a beach walk, a meal overlooking the water and a little more time to enjoy the setting you came for.
Bring your appetite—and leave room in the day to linger.

The walk there is part of the pleasure. Browse the storefronts, enjoy the downtown atmosphere and make an evening of it.

Make a Fall Day of It
You don’t need a packed itinerary to enjoy Rehoboth.
Start with Beach View’s complimentary full breakfast, then head toward the boardwalk for ocean air and a morning walk. Spend some time exploring downtown before choosing a lunch spot that catches your eye.
In the afternoon, leave room for whatever sounds good: another walk, a little shopping or simply a break back at the hotel.
Return for Hospitality Hour before heading out to dinner, and finish the evening with a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie.
A few good meals. Time by the water. The comfort of having everything close by.
That’s a pretty nice way to spend a fall getaway.
