South Bethany is one of the quietest of the Delaware resort areas and its bay side is renowned for its canals, prompting some to call it the Venice of the Delaware Coast. Perfect for those who are looking for a quiet and peaceful vacation, it has none of the commotion of the larger resort areas.

 

The ocean and the bay are your sources of entertainment in South Bethany. Sit on the beach and bask in the sun or go crabbing, fishing or boating on the bay. Nightlife and amusement parks are only minutes away for those who crave the excitement or you can come home to a nice quiet neighborhood.

 

The community's single shopping center features a collection of lovely and unique shops, a pizzeria, a gourmet deli, a sushi bar and an excellent bait and tackle shop with all the local information and gear you need for bay or surf fishing.
