    Love Broadkill Beach!!!…read more This is a Delaware Bay beach, between Slaughter Beach and Lewes Beach. It's my Bizarro World beach from North Cape May and Villas, across the bay. Unlike Jersey, I saw evidence of campfires on this beach, as well as 2 cars, and other ATV mule-type vehicles. While a fire on the beach at night seems SOOO fun, I respect why this is not permitted in NJ, and was a little concerned about the legality of it in DE. Cars on the beach are just not cool. It can severely damage the ecosystem and/or dunes, not to mention the hundreds of crab burrows I saw in the sand. And of course these idiots got their car stuck, and spent an hour pushing it out of the sand. Leave your car on the road. All that aside, Broadkill Beach is a very cool beach, in a small one-road community near Milton, DE. The beach itself is beautiful, with tranquil bay waters. I did not see any jellyfish, thank goodness, nor shark fishermen, like I do in Cape May County. This made me feel more safe with my toddler swimming. No lifeguards, but that means no beach tags. Just beware the current, because it's strong. You can get some medium waves, but not huge. Nice long stretch to walk. Many people had dogs with them. Most dogs were leashed, which was so appreciated, and showed their respect for the environment, and welfare of others. There is free public parking just off the road leading to the beach. Main beach entrance is right there. General store is right across from parking, with all kinds of supplies. This place has such a relaxed, safe, fun, beachy vibe!

    First time in Milton DE. Beautiful peaceful clean. Saw , , , , fox, horseshoe . Beautiful sunrise…read more Lewes and Rehoboth not long drive. Not long trip from home. Definitely going back to explore more

    In late December 2025, my wife, two sons, and I enjoyed a return visit to this lovely beach just…read morepast the DQ sign. It's still officially known as Savannah Beach. In the winter months, the beach is dog-friendly and offers free parking. The shallow and calm water on the bayside is safe for young kids (ages 2-8 years). During the day, you can see the Cape May-Lewes ferry going back and forth.

    First time to this awesome bayside beach!…read more Parking was a challenge and when someone across the street from the paid lot opened their yard to park for $20 all day, I was happy to pay. Easy to get to beach. Shallow calm water. There are many families and children (mid August 2024) and it was peaceful and chill. Clean gendered public toilets and outdoor shower if you need. Friendly life guards on duty. Lifeguard Trent was just wonderful to chat with and watch him help others with kindness and care. The Cape May ferry terminal is near and the ferry comes and goes. The Lion's club hosts a stand that rents umbrellas, rafts and other beach gear. They also sell hotdogs, pizza, icees and snacks. I had strawberry-lemon which was refreshingly perfect. Beyond-the-call-of-duty Lifeguard update! These pushy women sat beneath the lifeguard chair and after asking where the rental shack is about 10 times and being told--they said they couldn't walk there (it's not far) to get an umbrella. They whined and whined. Trent took the umbrella down from the lifeguard chair and set it up for them to use!!! So so generous of you Trent! I highly recommend this beach if you're looking for ease. Parking likely easier earlier in the day. I beached til evening!

    The trails are beautiful and lengthy. Perfect to get in some steps. The fields are kept up nicely…read moreand the grounds are lovely. The playground, piccadilly castle, is a large wooden playground that could use some updating. They have a smaller area reserved for only smaller children, which is nice when it's crowded with older kids and they have no regard for your toddler. The swings could use an update and the slides could use a deep clean, but everything was pretty solid. The castle has bricks around it with names of those who contributed toward or helped build it. It's neat to see some familiar names! I recommend this park and playground for those who have kids needing to get rid of energy or those who need to walk and clear their head.

    I was visiting Delaware a couple weeks back, and I have this thing about finding parks whenever I'm…read moreon a road trip - I've always loved swing sets and green grass! When I saw that Brecknock Park had a wooden playground, I figured I had to check it out. The park is absolutely beautiful. There's lots of open space for throwing around a frisbee, jogging, picnicking, playing soccer - you name it! There's a small garden area to walk through that has the plants and trees labeled (always nice to get in a little outdoor education). The wooden playground was everything I'd hoped for - very well-maintained, lots of different jungle gym options, and I got in my obligatory swing set time on a nice, sturdy swing set. Whether you live in the area or are just passing through, I'd definitely recommend spending some time at this park. Wish I could have enjoyed it longer! I'll absolutely plan on stopping by again next time I'm visiting that area.

    Bethany Beach is located about 1/2 hr from Rehoboth Beach, DE; about halfway to Ocean City, MD…read morebeach. I wish we had more time during our recent visit. Would have chosen to hang out more at Bethany beach. We went on a Friday so maybe not as many visitors yet but noticed it is still less crowded and quieter than both beaches I mentioned; cleaner - has landscaped traffic islands and the boardwalk is well maintained; smaller boardwalk area but has enough stores/eateries. High sand dunes between the ocean/beach and the boardwalk/buildings. There are pathways to the water. I noticed foot washing stations. Restrooms by the boardwalk. Learned about the umbrella rental by Steen's Beach Service, which I wish I knew on our previous trips here. By the hour @$8, by day or weekly (see photo for rates). After paying, they brought the umbrella and secured it at the spot of our choosing. Also has beach chair rental. up to 5pm. There are metered parking spots also. Easy to use with a credit card or coins, by license plate. We were able to add increments of 1/2 hour. Tip: we've driven up and down the DE-MD beaches and it's not a bad drive- as much as we can, we tried to check out each town/boardwalk/beach, attractions if any, restaurants.

    Having spent weekends here two summers in a row, I love Bethany's unique charm and overall feel.

The parking situation is good if you get there early, the bathrooms and beach overall are clean, and there's great options for dinner, ice cream, and drinks all around town. The town in summertime is primarily staffed by college and high school students, which really aides in the nostalgic charm but might mean your coffee and dinner take a bit longer. You're on vaca! It's fine. My boyfriend's family is the reason for my frequent visits, and he always points out that east coast beaches like Bethany real revel in the Americana-ness of summertime. I totally agree! Bethany is a special place and I look forward to my next trip, and hopefully enjoying some time in the off season as well.
