There are several great ways to get around town and surrounding areas.  Here are some tips on how to best utilize the available options.

Walking & Biking

The Blue Water House is centrally located between the beach and downtown Lewes.  The beach is 2 1/2 blocks away and downtown Lewes is just over the canal bridge.  Lewes has several cross walks dedicated to making traveling by foot safe and pleasant.

The Blue Water House offers bikes for its guests to use as well as helmets

Driving

Traffic during the summer can be daunting but with a little patience you will get to your destination safely.  Parking meters are a fact of life here at the beach so The Blue Water House always has some quarters on hand and there are several change pavilions in the area.

Cape May - Lewes Ferry

Originally the Cape May-Lewes Ferry was built to ferry traffic across the Delaware Bay, but with the launching of the Twin Capes - the most modern ferry in the nation, crossing the Delaware Bay is a perfect afternoon cruise.  Visit the Cape May - Lewes Ferry web site for more details.
