Bethany Beach
A quiet family beach about 20 km south of Rehoboth, known as the “Quiet Coast,” with a short boardwalk and Indigenous totem poles.
Bethany Beach is the central town of Delaware’s “Quiet Coast.” It is quieter than Rehoboth and Dewey, which makes it suitable for families with young children. The town has a short boardwalk, a seaside music stage and landmark Indigenous totem poles. The beach is clean, and the waves are gentle. Summer brings open-air evening concerts and films. Parking is charged, and it can be hard to find a space on busy weekends. It can be combined with a visit to the Indian River Inlet bridge on the same day.
