Some travelers mentioned that beach chairs and umbrellas are available for rent at various locations along Rehoboth Beach. Catts’ Beach Service was specifically cited, with rental huts found on nearly every block of downtown Rehoboth Beach.

According to forum posts, the cost for renting chairs is generally around $7, and umbrellas can be rented for about $14. It was noted that these rentals are typically cash-only transactions.

Travelers have called out that it is common practice to tip the attendants who assist with carrying and setting up the umbrellas and chairs at your spot on the beach. This service adds convenience to the rental process.

According to forum posts, Rehoboth Beach is a popular destination but can be crowded, especially near the boardwalk area. Some users recommend walking to either end of the boardwalk for less crowded spots. The beach at Rehoboth Avenue is noted for being very busy as it is a central spot for both weekly vacationers and day trippers.

For travelers looking for less crowded options, several posts suggest visiting beaches at the state parks. Cape Henlopen State Park offers spacious beaches and is recommended for its scenic views and trails. Gordon’s Pond and Junction & Breakwater trails are also highlighted as great spots for nature lovers. These areas provide a more relaxed atmosphere compared to the central beach sections of Rehoboth Beach.

Travelers have called out that parking can be challenging during peak season in central Rehoboth Beach areas. It is advised to consider beaches with nearby parking facilities like Deauville Beach or state park beaches, which have pay lots right at the water’s edge, to avoid the hassle of finding a spot in more congested areas.
