Peninsula Lakes in Millsboro – One of Coastal Delaware’s Best-Kept Secrets

By Brooke Caulfield, in COMMUNITY MINDED

Some of Coastal Delaware’s best-kept secrets sit just south of the beaches you’ve grown to know and love. Want to be within five minutes of some of the area’s best food, bakeries, and activities? Look no further than Peninsula Lakes.

Old World Breads serves up some of the best pastries Coastal Delaware has to offer—and no, you don’t have to drive all the way to Lewes for the best scone of your life. Their Long Neck location is just 2.5 miles from Peninsula Lakes and a true local favorite.

Let’s be honest: driving to the grocery store can feel like a chore (there’s a reason grocery delivery exists—hallelujah, what a time to be alive). But here, convenience is built in. Harris Teeter—one of the best grocery stores in the state—is located less than 1.5 miles away. So when you invite everyone over for lunch after absolutely dominating Jim and Susan in pickleball (yes, Jim did just have knee surgery, but Susan told you to take him down a peg 😉), lunch is already handled. The grocery run barely counts as a trip.

Run out of margarita mix while floating the lazy river at the clubhouse? No problem. The nearest liquor store is less than a five-minute drive—you’ll be back before the sunscreen even has time to fade.

Not sure whether you want to be part of an active community or fully embrace laid-back beach life? At Peninsula Lakes, you get to choose. With a dedicated events coordinator and community calendar, you can join morning yoga in the studio, sign up for a tennis match—or skip it all. Lounge by the pool, prop your feet up, and tell yourself, “Yoga can wait until tomorrow.”
From sunrise yoga to pickleball matches and lazy pool days, Peninsula Lakes lets you live the Coastal Delaware lifestyle—your way.


Peninsula Lakes is one of Schell Brothers’ few communities to feature a lazy river, clubhouse, and miles of scenic walking trails—all just a short drive from the area’s best restaurants, bars, and grocery stores, putting everyday convenience right outside your door.
