One of Delaware's state Parks, the Southside beach is a local's favorite for skim boarding and boogie boarding and the Northside is known as surfer's beach (also a favorite among kite boarders, stand up paddle boarders, sea kayakers). It's my favorite beach to go to and tends to be less crowded at the northern most ramp. In case of a spontaneous rain shower or thunderstorm, folks duck under the bridge until it passes. Has a bath house and usually plenty of parking. Good beach spot!

Parking in the height of the season can be an issue. The earlier in the day you go, the more likely you are to find a spot without any trouble. Many of my guests prefer to Uber there to avoid the parking issue. That being said, Bethany Beach is a sweet spot and worth the effort. Proud to call it home for the past 28 years...I hope you are greeted with smiles and appreciation. *In the world of Covid...be sure you have your mask.*
