Claudine: I didn’t expect a beach area in Delaware to be so lively.

Paul: Rehoboth Beach is a popular vacation destination for people in the region.

Claudine: I can understand why people come here. I love the different water sports we can do.

Sam: Yes, I can’t wait to go kayaking.

Gina: And the wooden boardwalk is great. I love beach towns with long boardwalks.

Paul: This area has a great history as well. It’s likely that the area was inhabited by humans over 12,000 years ago.

Gina: That’s incredible. We should all go check out the museum tomorrow. Today, I’m going to relax on the beach.
