Lewes is 100 miles from Washington DC, Baltimore, or Philadelphia; 16 miles by ferry from Cape May, NJ; and just a few miles to the North of the better-known (and more crowded and commercialized) Rehoboth Beach, DE. Lewes is an ideal spot for relaxed old-fashioned beach vacations, away from neon, noise and high-rise development.
