With some of the most beautiful beaches in the country, it’s no wonder that Sussex is Delaware’s fastest growing county in terms of population. Home to a rich agricultural heritage as well as a booming tourism scene, living in Sussex County means access to farm fresh produce, local oysters, world-class chefs, and active lifestyles and communities.
The county features a patchwork of agragrian pastures and a network of bays, rivers, and inlets in the eastern half along the Atlantic Ocean. Popular beach towns, including Rehoboth, Dewey, and Bethany Beach, provide year-round amenities to visitors and residents alike, while historic towns like Seaford and Georgetown offer a charming, suburban, small-town feel.
Community flourishes in Sussex County with lively boardwalks, weekend festivals, and active arts and theatre scenes. Indulge in some of the East Coast’s best restaurants like Heirloom and One Coastal before relaxing with ocean views at one of many beach clubs and bars such as Nalu or Big Chill Beach Club. Year-round events include the Wings and Wheels Plane and Auto Show in Georgetown, Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival, the Lewes Tulip Celebration, and more. Other cultural attractions include the Treasures of the Sea Museum, Redden State Forest, First State BMX, and the Tanger Outlets – did somebody say 0% sales tax?
