Rehoboth Beach is a small Delaware city with fewer than 2,000 residents, but the city and its surrounding area regularly accommodate tens of thousands of tourists during the summertime months, according to the Wilmington, Delaware-based News Journal. The area is popular among everyday tourists seeking sun, sand and fun on the boardwalk, but equally appealing to seasoned golf travelers looking for the most challenging links in the northeast. If you're planning a golf trip in or around Rehoboth Beach, consider the fine hotels near Ocean Drive in the northern part of the city.
