Delaware Beaches Tour- Rehoboth, Dewey, & Lewes
Please read all the directions carefully.
This is a ten stop multi tour- three stages in each beach town plus the final. While it was designed as a driving tour, it can also be done by bicycle and is a 21 mile round trip. It can be done in any order and over multiple days, but it is highly recommended to follow the stages in number order. Parking is available at all stages but will definitely be more difficult during the summer season and usually there is a charge at that time. All waypoints are included for direct download.
At each waypoint, you will be looking for a letter in a word. The directions will lead you to a particular letter of the alphabet. Translate that letter into a number via A=1, B=2, C=3, etc. Substitute the numbers for the symbols into the coords listed for the final.
Special Note: For ALL signs, count EVERY line of text (including the title or name).
