When summer rolls around, Delawareans try to avoid the beaches. The crowds just never seem worth it — so we try to find the quieter spots with the fewest tourists. However, sometimes our tastebuds win out and we head to Rehoboth Beach to enjoy the best boardwalk food in Delaware. What will you snack on this year?
- Dolles Salt Water Taffy
Flickr / Ralphnuss Salt Water Taffy is the most unique treat around. Pick from hundreds of flavors, buy them by the pound, and then proceed to regret it just a little bit as you fight the taffy that’s stuck to your teeth for hours. What’s your favorite flavor?
- Fisher’s Popcorn
Flickr / dogberryjr Fisher’s Popcorn is the best in the state. I could eat an entire large container of it in one sitting, I swear! Whether you pick a flavor or stick with the original, you’ll love every bite.
- Thrasher’s French Fries

- Kohr Bros. Frozen Custard

- Grotto’s Boardwalk Pizza
Facebook / Grotto Pizza Dewey Beach Grotto Pizza is an acquired taste, for sure. This Delaware chain makes crispy crust, saucy and cheesy boardwalk pizza to die for. It’s not a vacation without at least one slice.
- The Ice Cream Shop’s Outrageous Flavors
Facebook / The Ice Cream Store When soft serve won’t do, head to the Ice Cream Store. You’ll have more than a hundred flavors to choose from, and you can try something different every time.
- Gus and Gus’ Fried Chicken

- Kilwin’s Fudge
Google Local / Joseph Fung Kilwin’s fudge is some of the best you’ll ever try! Whether you go rocky road, vanilla, peanut butter, or something completely different, your sweet tooth will thank you for making the trip.
- The Nic-o-Boli
Google Local / Marie Barker You can’t leave Rehoboth Beach without trying the Nic-o-Boli. This delicious, crispy pizza creation put Nicola Pizza on the map!
You can find the best boardwalk food in Delaware up and down the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, and along Rehoboth Avenue.
