South Bethany Beach is a charming coastal town in Delaware, known for its serene and intimate atmosphere. The beach itself stretches for about a mile, offering soft white sand perfect for sunbathing, beachcombing, and building sandcastles. It is part of 'The Quiet Resorts,' which also includes Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island, providing a tranquil escape from the bustling crowds of nearby Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City, Maryland. South Bethany is almost exclusively residential, earning it the nickname 'The Best Little Beach in Delaware.'
The area is surrounded by natural beauty, with Fenwick Island State Park to the south and Delaware Seashore State Park nearby, offering opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking and kayaking. The town's small-town vibe is enhanced by its limited commercial areas, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful beach vacation.
South Bethany's history dates back to the early 20th century, with significant development in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, it is a popular destination for families and those looking for a relaxed beach experience.
