Bethany Beach

Over 15,000 vacationers flock to Bethany Beach every year to enjoy the summer season. This beach destination has a reputation for being a peaceful coastal town. The presence of the Delaware Seashore State Park also contributes to the popularity of Bethany Beach.  Bethany Beach has a half-mile-long wooden boardwalk looking over the beautiful shore and grass-spotted dunes. There are also mini-golf and jet ski areas in the place for you to make the most out of your vacation.

 

Fenwick Island

Fenwick Island offers a quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city. This coastal island sits on a narrow peninsula with an alluring natural landscape and oceanside ambiance. You can also enjoy a lot of activities here, such as surfing, snorkeling, and camping.  You can also visit the oldest lighthouse in Delaware, which was constructed in 1858. The Fenwick Island Lighthouse has a mini-museum at its base, where you can take a glimpse of the history of this beautiful state. There are also shops, restaurants, umbrella rentals, bathhouses, and lodges in the area.

 

Slaughter Beach

Do you love beaches and birds? Well, you’ll surely find Slaughter Beach as a paradise here on Earth. In the area, you can visit the Milford Neck Wildlife Preserve to witness the different shorebird species, such as blue grosbeak, indigo bunting, and pine warbler. The place is also home to horseshoe crabs, which is the official symbol of the town. If the name of this beach sounds dreadful to you, you shouldn’t worry because Slaughter Beach is one of the most serene coastal destinations in Delaware. There are picnic tables, umbrella spots, showers, and restrooms in the place. Just be careful swimming and beachcombing the area, though, as the ocean floor is a bit rocky and hermit crabs are probably wading the waters with you.
