A piece of Delaware’s LGBTQ heritage is about to be officially recognized with a new state historical marker. The Delaware Public Archives has announced plans to unveil a State of Delaware Historical Marker dedicated to Poodle Beach on Saturday, June 27, 2026.
The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. at the corner of Prospect Street and the South Boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach. The marker will honor Poodle Beach as a landmark in Delaware’s LGBTQ history.
Rehoboth Beach has long been regarded as a welcoming destination for LGBTQ visitors and residents, with Poodle Beach playing a notable role in that tradition for generations.
