Lewes

Among the cities of Delaware, Lewes stands out for its position where Delaware Bay opens toward the Atlantic beside Cape Henlopen. The town grew from Zwaanendael, a short-lived Dutch settlement founded in 1631; the Zwaanendael Museum recalls this early colonial episode and gives the historic centre a maritime context. Ferry connections across the bay, the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal, and nearby Cape Henlopen State Park link the compact town with beaches, dunes and coastal waters.
