Why Bethany Beach?
Bethany Beach is one of Delaware’s famous “Quiet Resorts” — a friendly, safe, family-oriented town on the Atlantic Ocean with a charming boardwalk, free summer concerts at the bandstand, and miles of clean beaches. It sits in the heart of the Delaware Shore, just minutes from lively Ocean City, Maryland and Rehoboth Beach, and within easy reach of Washington D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City on your days off.
Summer here means kayaking and paddleboarding on the bay, biking the coastal trails, boardwalk arcades, ice cream at sunset, and beach bonfires with friends from around the world. When fall arrives, the crowds thin out, the ocean is still warm, and the town becomes your own personal seaside retreat.
