SOUTHERN DELAWARE www.VisitSouthernDelaware.com OVERVIEW Southern Delaware offers Five-Star beaches, bays, waterways, hiking and biking trails, and incredible scenic beauty. It’s full of meeting-friendly venues suited to groups of 25-500, a range of accommodations from oceanfront luxury to budget-friendly, and everything from boardwalk fries to fine dining, plus a vibrant winery, brewery and distillery scene along its famed Culinary Coast™. Visiting groups will find team building activities that include outdoor adventure, eight signature golf courses, watersports, indoor activities, entertainment, tax-free shopping, dining, and meeting space. WHAT’S NEW Southern Delaware recently welcomed four new hotels to its accommodations profile, including: Fenwick Shores, Tapestry Collection by Hilton in Fenwick Island; Residence Inn by Marriott in Rehoboth Beach; Home 2 Suites by Hilton in Lewes; and the Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Rehoboth Beach. Additionally, the Bellmoor Inn and Spa in downtown Rehoboth Beach is building a new bar and restaurant that will feature its own cuisine and bar menu for the first time since the days when the property was The Dinner Bell Inn. Greater Good Events, based out of Children’s Beach House in Lewes, is the new catering arm of the organization and provides quality food, space and event planning for events and more. The venue offers an educational program of professional development courses in leadership, communication, conflict resolution, cultural competency and even customized training. A portion of the cost benefits the nonprofit Children’s Beach House. Another new, unique event venue overlooking the ocean is Great Dune Overlook Events at Fort Miles in Cape Henlopen State Park. 72 Marchz April2021
