The Art of Smart Timing
Bethany Beach is a beach town so its high season is mostly during the summer months.

Getting There
Bethany Beach is located about an hour south of Dover, Delaware. The Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional Airport, located in Maryland, is about 45 minutes from Bethany Beach, but offers limited flights. Philadelphia International Airport and Baltimore-Washington International Airport are both about two and half hours away from Bethany Beach.

Getting Around
Families can walk to the beach and several nearby shops and restaurants. But a car is needed to venture further away from the hotel, as the main drag through Bethany Beach is considered a highway.

For Mom and Dad
Parents will love to relax and read a book in the hotel lobby, which features a beachy and calming décor.
