The Quiet Resorts

Bethany Beach is known as a quiet beach town filled with sunny days, sandy beaches, and coastal charm. The Bethany Beach Boardwalk is 1/2 mile long and is a great place to take a stroll, grab a cup of coffee, or catch some sun on the beach. Bethany is a pedestrian-focused town, where pedestrians in crosswalks have the right of way and speed limits are slow. The trolley travels through Bethany to pick up visitors and take them to and from the beach, or take the most popular mode of transportation in the town – bicycle!

Bethany is comprised mostly of single-family homes, but there are condo and townhome options available in communities such as Sea Colony East and West, Bethany Proper, and Bethany Shores.

Testimonials

Our search for a horse farm took nearly 2 years, with lots of changing our minds, looking at the same property 2 or 3 times and generally feeling overwhelmed, but Rhonda and Bethany never gave up, lost hope, or tried to push or hurry us. They are both just extremely pleasant and very accommodating. I’m really going to miss talking to them on a regular basis. I feel like I made some new friends! Thank you for all the encouragement and support when we needed it the most!
