Bethany Beach is a serene beachside town known for its quiet style and is a gentle balance of peaceful family-friendly attractions and fun-loving diversions. A typical day here involves lazing at the beach, wandering around the boardwalk, indulging in an ice cream cone, or browsing the bookstore. Its restaurant scene is a true highlight, with an array of eclectic and delicious dining options such as local favorites the Blue Crab Restaurant, Bluecoast Seafood Grille, and the waterfront Bethany Boathouse. While Bethany Beach definitely has a small town “Mayberry” vibe, the locals spice it up with their movies on the beach and free concerts on the weekends.
