Review:
A famous beach resort town in the late 1800s until the early 20th century, Betterton was the place to see and be seen during the hot summer.
Lovely stately homes were perched on top of the hill overlooking the ocean and the luxury hotels were buzzing with life. The village is now mostly a retirement community, peaceful and quiet, with a lovely beach at the bottom of the village hill overlooking Chesapeake Bay.
There are still a few lovely Victorian homes left, but the big hotels are gone. Betterton Beach Waterfront Park stretches along the shore, at the point where the Sassafras River enters the sea, with 5 miles of beautifully landscaped area, a bath house, a picnic pavilion, benches in the shade of old trees, and picnic tables near the water.
Address: 100 Main Street, Betterton, MD 21610,
