Klockenbrink (Kirstin Elizabeth Lawrence) At the Beach, 19th-Century Style By LYFORD M. MOORE Gannett News Service REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. Some 56 miles separate Rehoboth Beach from the bright lights and glitter of Atlantic City. A scant 27 miles stand between it and the high-rise condominiums that nearly block out the Maryland sun high above Ocean City. Rehoboth's central location, however, is deceiving.

It might as well be light years away from either of its neighbors. Unlike Atlantic City, which allowed casino gambling to breathe new life into its old shell, Rehoboth walked the straight and narrow as a family resort. Unlike Ocean City, which tossed hook, line and sinker into the belief that big is better, Rehoboth has fought against crass commercialism. Rehoboth Beach has developed into a popular haven for Washingtonians seeking relief from the pressures of day-to-day survival in the nation's capital, located about 150 miles away. It's flanked on the north by Henlopen Acres, on the south by Dewey Beach.

The resort took its name from the biblical term Rehoboth, meaning "room enough," and started out as a Methodist camp meeting. Although the Indians frequented the area to fish, clam and hunt, as did whites many years later, what now is Rehoboth Beach remained remote well past the middle 1800s. It wasn't until January 1873 that the Rehoboth Beach Camp Meeting Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church gained incorporation. Shortly thereafter, a survey of land was begun and a town subsequently laid out with wide streets, parks, and spacious lots. The religious camp meetings were discontinued about 1881, only to reappear in the 1890s on what is now Baltimore Avenue.

Some of the structures from the later camp meeting site still are in existence. Visitors to the square-mile, yearround resort often rejoice when told a car is not a necessity. At Rehoboth Beach, most everything is within walking distance. Once parked, mom and dad and the kids can attend a summer band concert, play miniature golf, rent a bicycle, go rollerskating, try their luck in boardwalk arcades, climb aboard a sightseeing trolley, or merely soak up the sun's golden rays on wide, soft, white, sandy beaches without restarting their engines. The beach is protected by lifeguards, and there is no beach fee.

BACK TO SCHOOL SAVINGS! priced restaurants and nightclubs are close by. One of the most enjoyable times to sample the pastoral beauty of Rehoboth Beach is around 8 a.m., a time when vacationers take to the boardwalk's white wooden benches to pore over the financial columns and sports pages of the Washington Post and Baltimore Sun. It's a new day, and the surf rakes, garbage trucks, and heavy-duty vacuums compete with swarms of seagulls and occasional entrepreneurs with metal detectors for the previous day's debris.

A lone surf fisherman bears a striking resemblance to the subject on a postcard, and slipperyskinned joggers and cyclists take advantage of the morning's cool air to burn off the fat. Stroll up the relatively short boardwalk past Rehoboth's main commercial district, which stretches almost half a mile on each side of Rehoboth Avenue and you'll eventually come across the bulletin board of the Beach Patrol Headquarters. One notice on that board promotes the local Kiwanis Club's 36th annual auction at Convention Hall; another is an offer from a Denise D. Allen to tutor children in grades through 4. Except for two motels of eight and five stories on either end of the boardwalk, Rehoboth Beach is devoid of the towering condominiums and hotels that loom as a giant seawall along the shore of Ocean City.

Most of its motels are of the one- and twostory variety (as are its countless cottages) and are tucked away off busy Rte. 1, which along with the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal, serve a as Rehoboth Beach's southern and western border. Unlike many resorts, Rehoboth Beach permits the carry-out sale of hard liquor (in addition to beer and wine) at several of its boardwalk establishments. Of course, a customer must be 21 to consummate such a transaction, and he's prohibited by local ordinance from drinking his purchase either on the beach or on the boardwalk. Rehoboth Beach is ideal for people who want all the amenities and none of the commotion, though there has been some mild controversy about the presence of homosexuals in a couple of beach areas.

It's a place where time somehow got trapped in a small child's corked bottle many decades ago and tossed away at sea.
