Our Story

Southern Delaware Tourism is the Convention and Visitor's Bureau for Sussex County, Delaware. Check us out here or at VisitSouthernDelaware.com to find everything you need to know about our beaches, small towns, and beyond.

Southern Delaware is the perfect playground for outdoor adventurers. The natural beauty of the area is captivating. Our ocean beaches have consistently achieved 5 star ratings from Natural Resources Defense Council. In fact, our water quality has taken first place over the 29 other coastal states in the U.S. in multiple consecutive years. We sparkle!

Our constellation of picturesque downtowns – all charming, yet each with its own distinct personality - are great getaway destinations. From quaint B&Bs to luxury hotels, guests will find welcoming accommodations in walkable historic fishing and shipbuilding villages rivaling those of New England, charming beach and riverside towns, and rural retreats. And they will find that off season visits offer the same great amenities at great savings as well.

This area is known as The Culinary Coast™ because of its incredible concentration of top notch, James Beard nominated and award-winning chefs and dining establishments. Southern Delaware is a mecca for foodies!
