Bethany Beach Boardwalk, Delaware, United States

Don't expect Ocean City's Boardwalk. It's a wholly different vibe

The free weekend concerts charge the area with excitement and sound against a sunset backdrop. They pack people in with great bands who listen to great free music while eating ice cream cones at sunset. Believe me, it's as terrible as it sounds... I fish right off the boardwalk in the mornings and watch the pelicans fly in formation as dolphins cruise the shoreline. Once I've assured myself that there are no fish in the ocean, I pack up, stopping at the donut shop right there for fresh, made to order AMAZING donuts, then head back to the rental and tell lies about all the fish I caught. It really is the hub of our vactions down here...small, but packed with hidden gems. It isn't Ocean City, and thankfully, at least to me, doesn't want to be either

    Compact and not Commercialized
    I always enjoy walking the Bethany Beach Boardwalk any time of the year. Late a night it is very serene and not crowded. It is short but very well maintained. During the season parking can be hard to find and it can be crowded. The city does a good job of keeping downtown Bethany from becoming too commercial and honky tonk, like Ocean City. It would be nice if the Boardwalk was a little longer and there was more parking. The Boardwalk is walking distance from most parts of Bethany. Also, it would b nice if there were some places to sit and watch the ocean. The barrier dune blocks the view of the ocean nearly the entire length. But it is a necessary protective feature. In the summer, there city is arranged entertainment on the Boardwalk almost every evening. As more people come to Bethany in the off season, it would nice if more eateries stayed open.

    Charming wooden boardwalk
    Lots of shopping for all even in the off season. Easy pre paid parking just use a credit card and set a timer to come back in time. Plenty of benches to rest on.
