Sussex County, Delaware
Sussex County is Delaware’s southern section along the sea. Beaches rule here, with Rehoboth and Bethany bringing in crowds all summer long.
But there’s more to Sussex than just sand and surf. Inland, you’ll find towns and endless fields of soybeans and corn. Lewes claims the title of “First Town in the First State” and wears its history proudly.
The pace slows down considerably once you cross into Sussex. Bird lovers come here to Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. It’s a place where you can still find dark skies at night.
