Is Bethany Beach family friendly?

I am looking for a quiet family friendly beach area. I have not been to any of the Delaware beaches..Any suggestions?

Is Bethany Beach family friendly?

For a quiet family vacation Bethany is your place. We go every year and stay at the Sea Colony resort. They have a private beach well guarded, indoor and outdoor pools, indoor and outdoor tennis, a liitle deli/market and a place to rent movies right on site. There are kids programs in season so you can get a break for a few hours during the day. We stay on the ocean front in the condos. They have anywhere from 1-3 bedrooms and rent usually by the week. There is a full kitchen so you can save on meals. You can walk to the boardwalk in Bethany (small and quaint) via the beach or the street. I would suggest 5 Guys for burgers in town and the Cottage Cafe for a nice sit down dinner accross the street from the resort. The only issue I have is that the highrise buildings don%26#39;t give you that private beach cottage feel, but the trade off is the may ammenities.

Definitely Bethany. I keep reading posts about families going to Dewey Beach - we call it ';Zooey Beach'; - and I wonder what that%26#39;s all about. Mother in law has a cottage in Dewey (she%26#39;s 90), and when she still had a car it wasn%26#39;t uncommon to find a naked male passed out in the car in the AM. Brother in law (an early riser) stays there too, and he%26#39;d just call the Dewey police to get the guys carted off before MIL awoke.

SEa Colony is great. You would never have to leave. If you don%26#39;t go anywhere you%26#39;ll miss a great boardwalk in Ocean City and some great reastuarants in the surrounding area . The Rehoboth Boardwalk has Playland which is great and very reasonable for the 10 and under set. Any Delaware beach other than Dewey is family friendly. Feed the parking meters and pay attention to the speed limits. They are heavily enforced.

Bethany Beach is definitely family friendly, so is Lewes (cape henlopen), Rehoboth Beach, and Fenwick Island. Dewey Beach is for drinking, and seeing live bands in bars. Also is a good place to observe crazy behavior, arrests, and drunk jaywalkers. Great place to go to revisit your crazy spring break college days.

ferd, was MIL living near the B%26amp;C? %26lt;G%26gt;

favorite Dewey encounter:

Wife %26amp; I %26amp; two kids in back seat; drunken college-age male bumps into car %26amp; slurs ';Well, it%26#39;s a family of four!'; I replied ';Don%26#39;t laugh, party boy...this will be you in another ten years!'; (He recoiled in disgust!)

Anyhoo, yes, Bethany is an excellent choice, as would be Fenwick Island. Both very family-oriented and somewhat shunned by partiers.

ddaacc,

Aren%26#39;t the Villas located in the town of Millville, several miles inland from Bethany Beach?

Can I take a guess that you might be the owner of one of the two Villas units found on the website you provided...twice in this post (plus numerous posts in other Delaware forums which were removed)?

Objective posts free of the poster%26#39;s commercial interests are always appreciated. Thanks.
