Sussex County Essentials
Sussex County encompasses Delaware's Atlantic coastline, defined by the historic maritime town of Lewes and the iconic boardwalk of Rehoboth Beach. The region’s heritage is preserved through the Zwaanendael Museum, the Overfalls lightship, and several 19th-century lighthouses guarding the Delaware Bay. Natural landscapes include the barrier islands of Delaware Seashore State Park and the inland waters of Indian River Bay. The area is also the home of Dogfish Head, featuring both its original brewpub and large-scale production brewery.
