When thinking of the best views in the United States, Delaware is probably not top of mind for most people.

But according to a new survey, familiar Delaware views are touted as some of the most breathtaking views in America.

Mixbook, a photobook company, surveyed 3,000 people to discover the 100 most “photo-worthy views” in America.

Out of the top contenders, two Delaware locations emerged as some of the most breathtaking views in the country.

At No. 69 is the Brandywine from Rockford Tower in Wilmington’s Rockford Park. The location offers a panoramic view of the Brandywine, along with the city of Wilmington in the distance and the surrounding parkland.

At No. 94 is the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk from Rehoboth Beach. Mixbook brands this location as providing a “classic view” of the Atlantic Ocean and a lively beach scene. For the perfect opportunity, anywhere near the bandstand captures the boardwalk, ocean and beach visitors all at once. Bonus points if you snap a shot during sunrise or sunset.
