The Rehoboth Beach Board of Commissioners voted Monday to change Rehoboth Beach’s annual parking season to May 15 through September 15.
Previously the parking season in Rehoboth Beach – the period during which visitors must purchase a parking pass or pay at meters – started on the Friday before Memorial Day through the second Sunday after Labor Day.
In addition, commissioners voted to make the meter rate consistent at $3 per hour citywide. Previously, the price for some meter locations was $2/hour.
“The changes adopted by Commissioners today provide consistency and simplicity to the city’s parking guidelines,” says City Manager Sharon Lynn. “Parking-related information will now be easier to communicate and understand.”
The change comes despite Rehoboth getting $835,000 in federal Rescue Act funds.
The beach town had a strong summer season in 2021 with the trend expected to continue into this year.
Rehoboth has also become nationally known, due in part to President Joe Biden having a second home near the city.
