Great beach! Never really gets over crowded even when its busy there is always a good spot. The boardwalk is smaller and great for families. Definitely a slower pace compared to places like Ocean City or even Rehoboth.

I always enjoy walking the Bethany Beach Boardwalk any time of the year. Late a night it is very serene and not crowded. It is short but very well maintained. During the season parking can be hard to find and it can be crowded. The city does a good job of keeping downtown Bethany from becoming too commercial and honky tonk, like Ocean City. It would be nice if the Boardwalk was a little longer and there was more parking. The Boardwalk is walking distance from most parts of Bethany. Also, it would b nice if there were some places to sit and watch the ocean. The barrier dune blocks the view of the ocean nearly the entire length. But it is a necessary protective feature. In the summer, there city is arranged entertainment on the Boardwalk almost every evening. As more people come to Bethany in the off season, it would nice if more eateries stayed open.

We love walking here. So quiet. Pretty views! We will never forget walking in the light snowfall to see the fawns and their mom taking a drink out of the pond! Great selection of birds as well

On the east side of the bridge you can go on the beach and hang out. There is a sidewalk that goes from the east side of the bridge and extends all the way down quite a distance to the west and a great place to go fishing. This is a popular place during the summer months and a great place for taking pictures and it’s also nice at night when the bridge lights up in blue. Please bring your family as there is a restaurant adjacent to the bridge with good food and good music.

Want to be involved in a dance class or be in the audience of a cooking demonstration? Yje South Coast Library seems to be the hub of community activities , classes, demonstration, toddler activities and more. Just go and pick up a calendar or see on line, Fill spare time with a new learning activity, meet the locals there. Libray is large and sprawling. Stillsmells like a bray. Has a front desk at which 5 librarians sit ready to help you find just the book or information you want. Of course there or computers to use, too.
