We decided to skip the beach for a bit and head out on a kayak excursion! We read that coastal kayak received good reviews on yelp and trip advisor so we decided to give it a try. The staff is super friendly , chill and...MoreHi Jen, thanks for the nice review!! Hopefully we can get you out next time on a nice calm day. Although we try to pick routes that will be sheltered from the wind sometimes the wind is still a challenge. Thanks again!

If you are on the eastern shore, your trip won't be complete without experiencing at least one fabulous night under the stars at the Freeman Stage, Bayside. The summer program is chock-full of the most seasoned and renowned popular artists known in American music, dance, concert stage, and theater; and tickets are very affordable. The atmosphere is nothing less than FUN as people may sing along with the artists on the stage only a hundred feet away, or dance in the aisles, or enjoy wine and hot dogs. The evening ends much too quickly but you leave with friends never known before. What fun memories you'll have forever -- for all ages.

Very nice family friendly Beach at small State Park. Park features Atlantic Ocean access and large Beach area. Beach is very clean and has lifeguards. Park also features changing and shower area and a food concession stand. They also rent beach chairs and umbrellas. Only issue is during the summer months parking lot fills up early. I advise getting there before 11 a.m.

Bethany is a very quaint beach town and the boardwalk is nice to walk around and explore. It's not as famous as other beach times but pretty much has all the same attractions.

This place looked unpromising at first glance— it’s located just above a shell gift shop. You enter, walk to the back, head upstairs— and suddenly you’re in a world class collection of shipwreck artifacts— from coins to ship parts to instruments to old cobalt bottles to fabulous jewelry.
If you’re lucky enough to come when Dale is there you are in for a real treat. He is knowledgeable, kind, warm and can answer any questions— he’s been unearthing treasure since age 14.
The place is awesome. Great little gift shop— I was sorely tempted. Will return!!

My wife and I have stopped here several times after finding it a few years ago. Wines are great and the selection is huge, from dry reds to sweet wines and everything in between. Really nice tasting room and the people there are always friendly. We always make it a mandatory stop when we're in the area and always walk out with 6 to 12 bottles. Their Chambourcin is top notch! If your in the Fenwick, Del. or Ocean City, Md. area you need to stop in!

The week we visited Fenwick Island was hot, so I had delayed our visit to Golf Down under until we reached the last day. I needn't have waited! There was a great ocean breeze until after noon when we finished our first round. Perfect timing for the free ice cream with playing all day! The second round our group of 6 broke in to two groups of three (good idea since it was so hot!), and while we enjoyed our second round, we were are thankful for the ice cold bottled water ($1 each) at the end. Just right!
Tips:
1. Military discount with ID
2. Go early, before noon.
A few stairs, not designed for strollers!
Restrooms available
cold drinks for sale
ice cream for sale
Every hole has a bench to sit on.
There are several places with full shade, two with extra large benches.

Right over the DE state line in Fenwick, Zen Spa sits only a short ride from Coastal Highway. However, once you are inside, the hustle and bustle of a busy vacation town melts away and you can be transformed into the best version of yourself. I think Sarah is a sensational massage therapist, and I make regular visits to Zen during the summer season and the off-season alike. I highly recommend Zen Spa!!
