Southern Delaware’s beautiful beaches, including Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Bethany Beach, and Fenwick Island, are part of the background of our daily lives. We love practicing in an area where our families can live year round the vacation lifestyle that others get to have for only a few weeks of the year. In addition to the beaches, we have beautiful state parks that have excellent outdoor excursions like sailing, kayaking, hiking etc. Delaware residents can also enjoy tax-free shopping and a lower cost of living compared to our neighbors in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
