Bethany Beach Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Sarah White
  • Bike or hike through scenic tidal marshes and forests at Assawoman Wildlife Area, located between Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island.
  • Rent a kayak or sailboat at Coastal Kayak on the bay across from Fenwick Island State Park. Ask about the two-hour bay tours for US$40.
  • With three miles of oceanfront between Bethany Beach and Ocean City, Fenwick Island State Park is popular among crabbers and surf fishermen and less crowded than other area beaches.
  • Stroll on the planks of Bethany's quiet boardwalk. This walkway has few stores and fewer crowds—perfect for an early morning or evening stroll.
