Some of the best Delaware towns are our smallest — from the underrated Selbyville to the quiet and peaceful Fenwick Island. Which towns are on your bucket list for 2018? If you’re looking for charming small towns to visit, start right here with this list!
Fenwick Island is one of Delaware's best beach towns! Located in southern Sussex County, this town doesn't get quite as crowded as Rehoboth or Dewey Beach, even in the middle of summer. Enjoy some relaxing beach time in the state park, or in the town itself.
Arden is an artists community — and its resident's talents are on display year round in their chosen "gilds"! In Arden, a gild is a group that focuses on one particular talent or event. For example, you can attend a concert hosted by the Concert Gild or watch a performance by the Shakespeare Gild!Read a little more about Arden and its many gilds right here.

Delaware City is a charming waterfront town that's one of the few places in New Castle County where you can really get that small town feel. Take the boat over to Pea Patch Island to step back in time at Fort Delaware, or pick crabs on the water at Kathy's or Crabby Dick's. If you like ghost hunting, you'll enjoy spending time in Del City — it's the state's most haunted town!

Visit Bowers Beach to get away from it all! This simple bayside town is quiet and charming year round.

Odessa might be Delaware's most historic town! Visiting this tiny spot, right near Middletown, is like stepping back in time. Every building in the historic district is nationally registered, and Cantwell's Tavern is one of the oldest restaurants in the state.
Selbyville is a sleepy town that's one of Delaware's best-kept secrets. The town is full of amazing restaurants and shops, plus festivals in the spring and summer that make it worth visiting! Be sure to attend their Old Timers Day along Church Street. This year, the festival is held on Saturday, June 16, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Finally, you've got to visit Wyoming. This small farm town is home to one of Delaware's greatest agricultural treasures — Fifer Orchards! Visit in the spring and summer for fresh fruits and berries, and in the fall for the world's best apple cider donuts. There's always a great reason to visit this farm and market.
