Zwaanendael Museum
As you might have guessed, Zwaanendael is a Dutch name — the museum is meant to honor Delaware's first European settlement. The exterior is typical Dutch architecture, with stepped gables, terracotta roof tiles, and decorated shutters.
Ryves Holt House
This house was built in 1898, and is a perfectly preserved piece of history. Nowadays it's been transformed into the Lewe's Historical Society's Museum Store, with local arts, crafts, and other goods for sale.
Delaware Breakwater East End Light
The Delaware Breakwater East End Light is one of Lewes' most significant structures, having been around since 1885. Today, you can only visit the lighthouse by guided tour.
Cape Henlopen State Park
This park is famous for its many beaches, but also for its myriad of camping sites and walking trails. It's the perfect place to come for a little nature retreat. Fort Miles Pinelands Trail is one trail you can't pass up.
Lewes Beach
Lewes Beach offers all the attraction of Coastal Delaware, but without the crowds and chaos. This secluded little piece of heaven is your ticket to relaxation — and the ocean views are to die for.
