5 Tips for Planning a Vacation to Rehoboth Beach on a Budget

Here are five tips for saving money when you visit Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach.

  1. Avoid Peak Vacation Times

Major holidays and weekends are the busiest times of year to visit Rehoboth and Dewey Beaches. Many hotels charge increased rates from Memorial Day through Labor Day. In addition to this time of year being more expensive, it’s also when the beaches are most populated, meaning rooms typically get booked faster than normal.

If possible, plan your beach getaway for a weekday or in September when schools are back in session and rates are lower.

  1. Plan Your Vacation Ahead of Time

Planning your vacation ahead of time is one of the best and easiest ways to save money. This gives you more time to budget and plan for the accommodations, attractions and activities you’ll want to enjoy when you get to Rehoboth Beach.

If you plan on taking your vacation in the summer, start planning now. Winter is the best time of year to plan your summer vacation. Not only will you have the excitement of your trip for months, you will also be able to take advantage of early booking offers.

  1. Start Saving Early

Once you have your dates set, start saving your money. When you budget for a vacation, you have to keep in mind all of your expenses, including accommodations, transportation, meals and activities. Instead of getting overwhelmed by this number, put a little aside from each paycheck up until your trip. Every cent can help make sure you have the funds for a fantastic trip.

  1. Choose Accommodations Away from the Busy Areas

While it may be tempting to want to stay right near the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk or in an oceanfront property near the best attractions, it can be more expensive.

There are plenty of great hotels, motels and campsites that are less expensive and away from the busier parts of town. Rental properties can also be more budget friendly compared to hotels. Take advantage of your rental home’s kitchen to save on meals.
