Anyone with children would love this area. It is a very family oriented beach with great activities in the evenings during prime time. I felt very safe and felt especially small children would enjoy their time there and parents don't have to worry about all the happenings that one might find at a larger more adult type of boardwalk like...

My wife's favorite town on the Delaware shore. A two to three block main street is lined with shops and restaurants, leading onto a pleasant beach and boardwalk. Though sometimes crowded, it has less of the madness of other beach towns, and has a little of something for everyone. A clean and pretty beach and nice surf. More

The only bad thing about Bethany Beach is the parking and the tickets. The police ticket for EVERYTHING and they desperately need a parking lot. Other than that, it's wonderful. Beautiful, Friendly, Family-oriented...just great! More

The family environment of Bethany Beach cannot be matched by any other beach area. The 4th of July parade is a traditional favorite with the flavor of a small town event, which is hard to find these days. Local restaurants are consistently good and most are open year round. Although the beach area is smaller than its neighbors in Dewey... More

About three miles from the beach, near the Giant shopping center, you can find the best day spa around. It is a small spa but it certainly provides a service. Shelia gives the most divine facials ever. She is so professional and you leave feeling so relaxed. Sue, the massage therapist, can take away any aches and pains that you... More
