Long Neck, DE

Long Neck sits on a scenic peninsula between Rehoboth Bay and Indian River Bay, giving residents easy water access in almost every direction. Located along Route 24 just east of Millsboro, it offers a relaxed coastal pace while staying an easy drive from Route 1 and the Atlantic beach towns. Homes here share a Millsboro mailing address, and local families are served by the Indian River School District, including Long Neck Elementary. It is a quiet, convenient spot where neighborhood streets, everyday shopping, and the bay are never far apart.

Boating and fishing are huge parts of everyday life, especially down at Massey's Landing, where a public ramp and fishing pier open directly into the bay. Along the main stretch, you will find casual crab houses, local eateries, and boat supply shops that bustle throughout the warmer months. The area also holds notable history as the former home of Rosedale Beach, a renowned mid-century resort and concert venue for Black and Nanticoke communities. Today, Long Neck draws retirees, seasonal visitors, and year-round locals looking for laid-back waterfront living on the Delaware coast.
