Sexy Beach - Bethany Beach That Is!

Are you searching for a glorious and amazing Bethany Beach Vacation Home? Well, you should probably learn just a wee bit more about this amazing destination! Bethany Beach is a pristine patch of a seven-mile stretch of sandy, Atlantic ocean beaches located in the southeastern corner of Delaware that also includes South Bethany and Fenwick Island. Now imagine this - as you exit Dewey Beach and drive south down Route 1, the beach houses gradually grows larger and larger as the brisk air becomes notably silent. A large totem pole, depicting a Nanticoke Indian chief, appears suddenly before your eyes as you coast on into Bethany Beach. Then it hits you-you're in the quintessential beach suburbia. Bethany Beach, ten miles south of Dewey, is the pure antidote to a Dewey hangover. It's peaceful. It's relaxing. It's Bethany Beach!So grab a bushel of crabs and spread out some newspapers on the deck. There you go, now you've got dinner. Fenwick Island, just south of Bethany, possess a New England charm and quaint white-tablecloth restaurants that lies in sharp contrast to the bumping and thumping party scene just a few miles north of here. The focus in both Bethany and Fenwick is on families and activities that are geared towards children. Bring the kids to Salisbury Zoological Park for monkey, bird and otter spotting (no petting though). Check out 17th, 18th and 19th-century artifacts from shipwrecks at the DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum on Fenwick Island. Rent a kayak and explore the shoreline of the island and the marshlands that spill in to Little Assawoman Bay. And if you're a huge fan of music then check out the Dewey Beach Music Festival! With six festivals throughout the spring, summer and fall making up the Dewey Beach Music Festival-Americana Music Fest, Chickfest, Jamfest, Popfest and Delaware Music Festival. Performing at three venues-Rusty Rudder, Bottle & Cork and Northbeach-each festival draws thousands of excited visitors. And if you're interested in checking out some of Bethany Beach's amazing history then check out the Lewes Walking Tour! "The First Town in the First State," Lewes was first discovered by Henry Hudson as he traveled up the Delaware River in August, 1609. In 1631, the Dutch established the first settlement here. That original settlement did not last long-all of the 32 settlers were massacred the following year by a tribe of Lenni Lenape Indians after a disagreement over a coat of arms stolen from the Dutch. The Dutch returned in 1658, and the area has been permanently settled since-by the Dutch and then the English. Lewes has seen several historic battles over the years, and visits by pirates, such as Captain Kidd. Many structures and houses remain from the late 1600s and early 1700s and can be explored on a walking tour of the town. The Zwaanandael Museum and the Fisher Martin House Information Center are a good point to start your exploration of the town's past. Doesn't that sound phenomenal?
