This is a hidden spot in Delaware and its so beautiful. You won't find many people here but you will find your perfect quiet place whether kayaking, biking, crabbing, hiking, or swimming ( public boat ramp). The observation tower is the best view of the Assawoman Bay and wildlife . You will see lots of bald eagles, river otters, giant woodpeckers , blue heron, egrets. SMH why all those cars are sitting in traffic to go to the beach when you can go to the bay ? It's completely free ...lots of fishing and crabbing , sailing , paddle boarding and don't forget to bring the dogs because they are allowed here!

They have picnic areas although we've not availed ourselves of them. The boat ramp is well-maintained and sometimes we meet our jet ski-owning friends here for a ride across the bay to the Paradise Grill in Long Neck. Buy a season state park pass if you're planning on coming here (or to other state parks in DE) more than once. Enjoy-

I parked and spent about 20 minutes enjoying the beach and the sunshine. The beach is beautiful. No trash, firm sand and a smooth include down into the water. The waves were pretty calm today which was good because I did not spot any lifeguards on duty. A great spot to spend some time at the ocean. [Review 18162 overall - 84 in Delaware - 1684 of 2022.]

We came here for a family photo shoot…read more THE PARK: Parking/entry fee was $10 for state residents and $20 for all others, paid via a machine. By the time we got here the facilities up front were closed so I have no idea what was available sans for restrooms and an outdoor shower. According to the website, shower and changing facilities are available, along with a food concession, chair & umbrella rentals, even a Mobi-Mat which allows wheelchairs to be pushed onto the beach (such a great idea). The sandy area is very wide and stretches for 3 miles with zero shady spots or trees. Lifeguards were gone for the day with their stands turned upside down. I noticed some vehicles actually parked on the beach near the northern end, a very cool perk that is not allowed back home. Ocean conditions were fairly calm but most folks were in waist-high water at most. OVERALL: Spacious real estate, but coming from Hawaii, my expectations are set too high, LOL.

We will definitely try a different location away from the marsh. They have bathhouses for campers only nearby and open at all hours. They did a good job trying to keep it clean. The campgrounds are clean. You have access to fishing . You are able to walk to the beach but we drive to the parking lot and the parking pass given by the campground covered the parking spot. The beach has lifeguards and there are two restaurants and shops. The beach has restrooms and bathhouses within free same center as the restaurants. They do not have BBQ grills. Bring your stove tops to cook and food that's doesn't required heating. They don't allow outside wood for any type of grills. You can find additional information on the website. The area is kid friendly and secure. They have a nice playground. I will try this location again.

Oh, and one more thing -there is an eye catching statue of a winged child wearing aviator goggles poised to jump and take off into the Wild Blue Yonder. The statue is named "Taking Flight" and it was sculpted by Dennis Smith. He was born in Utah in 1942. He is best known for his sculptures of families, mothers, and children - so "Taking Flight" is a prime example of his genre. I read that his work is located in hundreds of public and private collections, in museums and in public parks (like this one) across the US and around the world.

I don't believe there are any apartments in the town, those being readily available on the contiguous Bethany Beach to the north and nearby Fenwick Island to the south, the latter being the most intensely developed. South Bethany is entirely comprised of well-appointment vacation houses.

Parking on the Main Street where most of the shops and restaurants are is easy to find and there are plenty of cute little shops to browse all with beach-y things.

Everyone was friendly and welcoming to us.

The cost of mistakenly parking for an hour is more than the town charges for an entire day pass. That's insane. We won't be back which is unfortunate since the area is cute and quiet.

THE Best Beach in Delaware!!!!…read more Bethany Beach has been our family vacation spot for the past 32 years... and it has grown, developed, and maintained its family friendly vibe for all of those years!! Tucked on the coastal side of Route 1, the entire town of Bethany is an oasis of vacation. With only the Sea Colony condos as a building over three stories tall, Bethany is not your typical overrun East Coast beach, but maintains a feeling of small town family friendly atmosphere that keeps vacation calm and relaxing. With private gated communities to the North, quaint small town in the middle, and Sea Colony to the South, Bethany Beach has amazing options for every family!! The main street from Route 1 greets you with the totem pole and extends directly through shops, dining, and entertainment directly to the Boardwalk. Without many cheap hotels and mostly family house rentals, you see full families with generations enjoying vacation together.

We did a mini family vacation to Rehoboth and Bethany Beach. We were experiencing them for the…read morefirst time since we are still relatively new to the area. Of the two, Bethany has a slower and calmer vibe than Rehoboth. Family friend and beautiful, clean beachfront just like Rehoboth. They had umbrella rentals where they handle placing it wherever you want it (they don't allow beach tents just like Rehoboth). Unlike Rehoboth they took electronic payment. The boardwalk was nice with a few shops (there are more shops along the main street). I could potentially see a parking issue if there was a large influx of people so I would recommend getting there early during peak season. So if you are looking for family friendly, relaxing, coastal town expereince this is the place.

Finally free from work obligations I decided to take some me time and travel for myself a bit. In…read moreorder to do so I had to head south a bit. This brought me to the Charles W Cullen Bridge. This portion of Delaware is fairly flat and when you near the bridge it is a huge contrast of the landscape. Like out of nowhere you get this impressive looking bridge that adds to the beauty of the surrounding area. At the same time it doesn't take away from it either. I can't speak to the nighttime viewing of the bridge as I was only across it during the daylight hours. But I can only imagine. Not only is it a beautiful bridge, it serves the purpose of connecting the Rehoboth/Dewey area to the Bethany Beach area.

They chose blue for lights because this was a color That didn't upset the ecological balance and sensibilities of wildlife in the area- namely ocean fish life and birds. Now you're probably thinking I'm crazy because I got so excited about a bridge but consider this - the lanes that cross this bridge are totally free of any bumps or cracks you see in some other bridges in the tri-state area. The grading is slight and it's pleasant to drive. TIP: When you're coming northbound slow down at the top of the bridge if you can and look right if you safely can. You will be ecstatic at the view of the Atlantic Ocean and it's waves crashing onto the beach. It's a postcard!
