Rehoboth Beach Farmers’ Market & Local Food Finds
A stay at the Boardwalk Plaza Hotel sets you directly on the boardwalk, boasting Victorian-era elegance, oceanfront views, and high-end amenities such as a heated indoor-outdoor spa. When you are ready to explore beyond the shoreline, the Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market is one of the most rewarding ways to taste the region.
Held a short walk or drive up Rehoboth Avenue, the market gathers local growers, bakers, and makers in one welcoming setting. It is an easy outing from one of the most stunning Rehoboth Beach hotels, and a chance to bring a little of Delaware’s coast back to your room.
Plan Your Visit to the Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market
The Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market takes place every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Grove Park, located at 501 Rehoboth Avenue, adjacent to the Visitors Center and next to the Rehoboth Beach Museum. Parking is free in the Visitor Center and Museum lot during market hours, which makes the trip simple for guests at the Boardwalk Plaza Hotel.
This non-profit market brings together more than 40 vendors, each based within 100 miles, so everything you find is grown, baked, or crafted close to home. Shaded by trees and set beside a playground, Grove Park gives the market a relaxed, community feel that rewards a slow stroll.
