A Relaxing Milestone: Spa, Sun & Serotonin
Your 60th should be stress-free and soul-nourishing. Rehoboth’s slower pace and scenic oceanfront are perfect for rest and rejuvenation. Start your day with a beach walk, enjoy a massage at a local spa, or soak in the sunshine poolside at a boutique inn. Looking for something a little more elevated? Book a sunset cruise, plan a yoga session, or sip a glass of wine on your private patio — this birthday is all about you.
Celebrate with Style (and Tax-Free Shopping)
Rehoboth’s downtown shops offer a curated mix of artisan goods, boutique fashion, and home décor — all tax-free. Treat yourself to something special or pick up gifts for your loved ones traveling with you. This is a great time to splurge on fine jewelry or a watch to commemorate the milestone, a custom piece from a local artist, or luxurious beachwear and skincare products.

Create New Memories on the Boardwalk
Even at 60, you’re never too old to enjoy a classic boardwalk experience. Rehoboth’s iconic wooden boardwalk is home to games, sweets, arcades, and nostalgia.
