A 10 minute drive away, this is a beautiful garden created by local volunteers and incredible community support and fundraising. This link hasn't been updated and doesn't do it justice, but it's pretty cool. (My students and I volunteered here one day last Fall 2019!)

This is new to our community this year (2020), but visitors and locals seem to love it! I haven't visited, but it looks like fun if you don't want to go far. They are supposed to have yummy ice cream, too. Two minutes away. Right at the light, about 1/4 mile down on the left (across from Shaka Shack).

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.*
