Review & FAQ:

Located by the top of Chesapeake Bay near the Sassafrass River, Betterton Beach has long been a popular spot amongst locals and visitors alike. In fact, the beach was a major Victorian resort from the 1800s to the 1940s. Sometimes referred to as the “Jewel of the Chesapeake,” Betterton offers beautiful scenery, ample facilities, and amazing fresh water from five rivers merging within the bay—making it a jellyfish-free beach. The town, which sits atop cliffs overlooking the beach, is also worth visiting for its remarking views. No fees are required for entry, and facilities include restrooms, showers, picnicking areas, and a volleyball net.
