Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island State Park . More intimate than its upshore neighbors, Bethany is beloved for its restaurants and cheery boardwalk and is perfect for a day of strolling, sunbathing, and shopping. Along with neighboring South Bethany, it’s also a favorite of extended families who book a beach house for week-long getaways. Insider Tip: Rent a bike in Bethany and enjoy the scenic ride to Dewey Beach. Fenwick Island Though it’s not truly an island, this southernmost Delaware beach town nonetheless has a set-apart sort of vibe, thanks to the natural buffer of Fenwick Island State Park just to the north. Families adore Fenwick for its kid-friendly activities (including putt-putt and go-karts), and outdoor-minded travelers cherish its many boat slips, located just outside beach cottages. Of all the Delaware beach towns, Fenwick and Dewey boast the best access to the inland bays, giving visitors a chance for dinner with a waterside view at the restaurants along Del. 54, or a day paddleboarding on the calm water. Insider Tip: Enjoy the farm-to-table cuisine at One Coastal restaurant. Fenwick Island VisitDelaware.com 17
