Bethany Beach Beach Travel Tips

By 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.

This pleasant stretch of condominium communities, state parks, and public and private beaches offers visitors—especially families—a calm alternative to the bustle of Ocean City to the south and the sophistication and shopping of Rehoboth to the north. It's a great place to just sit back and enjoy the beach. Read More
