  Slowing it down in Fenwick Island

  Bethany Beach, DE USA

  Fenwick Island, Delaware is a little beach town that welcomes the millions of visitors who come to Ocean City, Maryland every year. In between the towns of Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island is a well-preserved and practically untouched beach which is part of the Fenwick Island State Park. Without the usual beach homes and boardwalks which distract you from the beauty, this beach gives you an idea of what it must of looked like before mankind came in and took over the seaside. I spent one of my favorite birthdays on this beach, surrounded by my family and digging in the sand with the kids all day...sometimes there is beauty in simplicity.

  Bethany Beach, DE USA

  I would rather spend my 4th of July in Bethany Beach, DE than anywhere else. Nothing feels more like America and summertime than Bethany. This town is so quaint and family-oriented with its small boardwalk shops selling hermit crabs and souvenirs. The side-streets are full of homes with all sorts of character and many draped with the American flag bunting. There are kids playing on the town playground and always groups of men shooting hoops on the basketball court. On the 4th, the town becomes filled with people who come to hit the beach and watch the parade. That evening, the boardwalk becomes a place to gather and watch a patriotic concert followed by a terrific fireworks display on the beach. This past year, a pounding rain and thunderstorm hit just as the fireworks ended sending a packed beach and boardwalk on a mass exodus. It was raining so hard that the people walking were soaked through and through, but all we saw were people smiling and laughing at their tough luck. After having spent a 4th of July in Bethany, a little rain wasn’t going to ruin the mood.
