Delaware is a coastal state, and if you grew up here, you grew up with the water being a big part of your life. Even if you spent your summers at Killens Pond or Lums Pond instead of the beach – it’s just in your soul! That’s why it’s so healing and refreshing to spend a day on the water in Delaware. If you’re looking for a good place to go kayaking or paddleboarding, you’ll find that when you kayak Rehoboth Bay, it’s a delightful spot to drop in and float.
The Rehoboth Bay is a huge waterway with calm water and gentle tides, and if you’re looking for a day to paddle and float, this is probably the most scenic spot in Delaware.

The waters of the bay are easy to navigate in a kayak, and the calm flow makes this a great place to try stand-up paddle boarding, too!

Kayaking is a family-friendly activity. Make sure that there’s a PFD for everyone on board, and that anyone kayaking knows how to swim.

While you’re in the water, you’ll enjoy the breeze coming from the ocean, beautiful scenery, and you’ll get to spot a huge variety of shore birds, too!

Come spend a few hours on the water in the Rehoboth Bay and you’ll find yourself relaxed and happy just from breathing in that fresh salt air.
