You'll find great golfing on tremendous new courses that are open year-round, a bumper crop of new specialty shops and outlet malls, and more restaurants than you could get to in a month. If it's just the two of you, check in to the Lighthouse Club Hotel. If you're a golfer, it's worth getting up early to try The Links at Lighthouse Sound. Holes along the front nine meander along Assawoman Bay, with the Ocean City skyline as a backdrop. A half-hour ride down scenic Route 1 takes you past the lovely beaches of Delaware's Seashore State Park to Rehobeth Beach, home to one of the most varied assortments of outlet shops in America.
Sales are tax free in Delaware.
Many of the other antiques stores and specialty shops along Route 1 stay open through the winter. There are several locations of this Ocean City drive-in that's been in business since 1939. Stretch your legs with a bike ride on the recently renovated boardwalk. Bring your own bike or rent one from Mike's Bikes or Darlene's on the Boardwalk. You can also take a spin on the recently reopened ice rink at the Carousel hotel.
