Rehoboth Beach Delaware 19971United States
For decades, long before it was commonplace, Rehoboth Beach’s Poodle Beach has been an oceanside destination for the LGBTQ community looking for a fun – and safe – place to enjoy the summer sun. It appears that history will soon be recognized with a Delaware Public Archives historical marker.
Rehoboth resident Frank Cooper submitted an application to the state requesting the marker in late June. During a city commissioners meeting Dec. 18, he announced the state had given preliminary approval.
After the meeting, in an email Dec. 23, Cooper said he and some other individuals have been trying for years to figure out a way to commemorate and honor the interesting history of Poodle Beach.
