Sure, everybody loves sun, sand and surf, but there’s more to coastal Delaware than summer fun.

In fact, November is chock-full of fun stuff, and with off-season rates (including 3 nights for the price of 2 on weekdays!), the Dogfish Inn is the perfect place to stay while you experience it all. 

For starters, the shopping in Lewes, Rehoboth Beach and along Del. 1 is second to none. Who wouldn’t want to get all their holiday shopping out of the way before December?

But that’s just the beginning.

* BONUS! If you book a stay at the inn for Nov. 9-10, we'll give you two tickets to the Ancient Ales beer dinner, along with transportation to and from the pub. On Monday, you'll get a VIP tour of the brewery and a look inside the legendary Steampunk Treehouse!
