All about Bethany Beach
Bethany Beach is a small coastal town in Delaware with sandy beaches and a scenic boardwalk. The boardwalk is the center of all the action here — though it may be small at less than half a mile long, it packs an oversized punch. Classic carnival snacks like saltwater taffy, fries, and ice cream are dolled out from weatherboard shopfronts, live music from the bandstand fills the air all summer, and fireworks light up the sky in the evening.
Away from the boardwalk, you can leave your beach rental for the day to rent a kayak, sailboat, or paddle boat and head out on the water, and end the day back onshore, cracking fresh lobster with sunset views.
Venture further afield to Fenwick Island State Park, where 344 acres of wilderness provide plenty of ways to spend a day outdoors, including hiking, boating, and horseback riding.
What are the top things to do in Bethany Beach?
Bethany Beach Boardwalk
Stalls selling souvenirs, saltwater taffy, ice cream, and freshly-caught seafood line the Bethany Beach boardwalk, which seems to be plucked out of a bygone era that’s in line with the preserved houses and wooden architecture dotting the area. In summer and fall, bands play at the bandshell in the evenings, performing free jazz, country, and pop concerts. Bring your own chairs for the performances to ensure you have a seat.
Thunder Lagoon Water Park
Take a short drive over to Fenwick Island, where the Thunder Lagoon Waterpark offers a day of fun activities. Amble down the lazy river, take turns gliding down slides, and sail aboard the tipping viking. There’s also a kiddie pool, and all the fairground-style snacks you can eat.
Golf courses
Delaware’s beaches boast about two dozen golf courses between them, most of which will be easy driving or shuttle bus distance from your beach house rental. Hit the greens with dramatic seaside views and forest scenery surrounding your game.
