The town of Bethany Beach in Sussex County, Delaware is bordered to the north by the Delaware Seashore State Park, meaning that you’re getting the most beach (and the most quiet) possible in this coastal town.

Vacationers have flocked to Bethany Beach since 1898 and with good reason. The town offers beautiful beaches, a bounty of activities for children and adults, and the convenient moniker of a "quiet resort." This means that it's known for being quieter and more relaxing rather than a party town.

If you're traveling with children, activities are endless. Mini golf, sandcastles, jet skiis, and a killer comic book store are just a few of the ways you can bring magic to their vacation.

For the grown ups, beach time, cocktails at local restaurants, and a number of spas beckon. Join Beach Pilates for a workout next to the ocean or sample wines at Nassau Valley Vineyard.
