Rehoboth Beach is a popular coastal town in Delaware on the Atlantic Ocean in eastern Sussex County known for its boardwalk*, beaches and family-friendly attractions.  It's a vibrant community with a mix of tax-free shopping, diverse dining options and outdoor activities such as biking and hiking in nearby state parks.  Often called the "Nation's Summer Capital" it attracts visitors from nearby areas and beyond, offering a lively atmosphere with historic charm.

*The boardwalk, now a mile long, was originally built in 1873 on high ground between the beach and Surf Avenue which ran the full length of the oceanfront.  Many storms have changed the boardwalk's configuration over the years.  In 1914, a storm destroyed the boardwalk, pier and pavilions.  Surf Avenue was washed out.  In 1992, the boardwalk was again substantially destroyed by a January nor'easter.  It was rebuilt in time for the summer season. 

Dolle's Candyland was established in Rehoboth Beach in 1926.  It moved to its present location at the corner of Rehoboth Avenue and the Boardwalk in 1927 after the co-founders Thomas Pachides and Rudolph William Dolle (1893-1968) purchased the old YMCA building for the princely sum of $30,000.  It was here the legendary candy store was born.  From then until now, this landmark truly hand makes all their candies and chocolates.
