Things to do in Lewes
Lewes Historic District
Did you know that Lewes was the earliest settlement in the state, and Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution? That's why the town refers to itself as "The First Town in the First State! Lewes is a walking town. Within a half-square mile you will find the Historic district, museums, many Inns, Bed & Breakfasts, restaurants, and a variety of shops.
Lewes Beach
Our very favorite place and backdrop to many couple selfies.
Irish Eyes Pub & Restaurant
Fun place to go for late night beer, orange crushes, pub fare and live music. It is very likely that the wedding after party might be here...
