Travel website's top 20 list includes 2 beach towns in or near Delaware. What earned nods?

Delaware is known for its beach towns, and one of them was selected as one of the top 20 in the country by a popular travel website.

Thrillist writers and editors named Rehoboth Beach as one of the top 20 in a list released in April. Down the road, Ocean City, Maryland, also made the list.

"Our group of travel writers have pulled the best of the best, places where those sands give way to dreamy towns, where the locals vibe with the visitors, and the food and drink become the stuff of endless summer memories," the site wrote of the list.

'Fun for all'

Alongside a bizarre reference to “buff dudes” in “supernaturally small speedos,” Thrillist hyped Rehoboth’s LGBTQ community, its boardwalk, amusement parks, free summer concerts and its proximity away from the more youthful good times in Dewey Beach.

“It’s also a haven for craft beer nerds: Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione can often be seen skateboarding around town, and his flagship brewpub and restaurant, Chesapeake & Maine, is one of the first signs you’ve made it to the beach,” the website states.

Among the top attractions, Thrillist listed sushi at The Cultured Pearl, Henlopen City Oyster House’s raw bar, partying at Blue Moon and taking a bike ride to see homes you’ll never be able to afford around Silver Lake.

Forever trapped in the '80s

Thrillist says everybody loves Ocean City because it's forever trapped in the ‘80s, citing the “vast majority” of hotels and rental properties built around that decade.

“Nothing from the outdoor cover band at Seacrets to the French fries at Thrasher’s seems to have changed,” the website states.

The website hypes eating food with Old Bay seasoning and fries with vinegar along with drinking an orange crush at Harborside Bar and Grill.

Travel+Leisure, another popular travel website, also named Ocean City among its 25 best beaches in the country.
