Lewes

Where history meets the sea – founded by the Dutch in 1631, Lewes is Delaware’s oldest European settlement. Often called “The First Town in the First State,” Lewes is a destination for those seeking a blend of rich history, natural beauty, and coastal sophistication. Cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, preserved Victorian homes, and Cape Cod–style cottages reflect its maritime heritage. The harbor and canal remain the centerpiece of town life, featuring waterfront seafood restaurants with unbeatable views. Its culinary scene emphasizes fresh seafood and farm-to-table dining. Home to Cape Henlopen State Park, which not only was one of the very first public lands designated for conservation in the U.S. (1682), but also served as a World War II military base with observation towers still standing today. Those towers are now open to visitors, offering panoramic views of the Atlantic and Delaware Bay. Lewes also is the Delaware port for the Cape May–Lewes Ferry, which has been running since 1964. It connects Delaware to Cape May, New Jersey, and makes Lewes a gateway to both the First State and the Jersey Shore.
