One of Delaware's Quiet resorts, along with South Bethany & Fenwick Island, Bethany Beach is a seven-mile stretch of sandy ocean beaches.
Guarded by the famous 24-foot tall totem pole, known as Chief Little Owl, Bethany's ocean beaches offer many recreational opportunities including swimming, fishing, surfing, as well as boogie board and raft riding. while in Bethany Beach, you may choose to ride your bike on well marked lanes, take a path less traveled off road, kayak or sail on the bay or ocean, or tee off on one of the area's many championship golf courses.
For those interested in a less active escape, grab a chair, a towel and your favorite book and head for the beach to soak up the sun or play in the surf. Bethany Beach, with its lovely small town charm, has become a traditional getaway for generations of families and now offers many a home year-round. recent beach replenishment projects have expanded the beaches allowing more room for enjoying a little fun in the sun, while also building up the dunes to preserve and protect the inland areas.
