I've lived on the East Coast my entire life. There's just one beach town in the region I swear by visiting every year.

Bethany Beach, Delaware, is my favorite East Coast beach town, and I visit it each year. Kristina Wright Each year, my family and I skip more crowded coastal cities and head to Bethany Beach, Delaware. We love the town's quaint atmosphere, delicious restaurants, and stunning boardwalk. The downtown area also offers a variety of community events, including concerts and beach bonfires. For my entire life, I've been grateful to call the East Coast my home. From Fort Lauderdale , Florida, to Newport, Rhode Island, I've spent years exploring the region's beaches and coastal towns. Out of all of them, though, the destination I always recommend most is Bethany Beach, Delaware. Bethany, which is part of a group of towns called "The Quiet Resorts," sits between the larger beach destinations of Ocean City, Maryland, and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
