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.
The author, a lifelong East Coast resident, recommends Bethany Beach, Delaware, as the region's best beach town for a quiet, family-friendly vacation. Located between Ocean City, Maryland, and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Bethany Beach is part of 'The Quiet Resorts' and offers a slower pace with no nightclubs, early-closing shops, and a peaceful atmosphere. The author's family has visited annually for five years, staying at the Bethany Beach Ocean Suites Residence Inn by Marriott. They enjoy a routine of coffee and pastries from Maureen's Ice Cream & Desserts, pizza from Pomodoro Pizzeria, Boardwalk Fries, and visits to DiFebo's Restaurant and Market. The downtown area features Bethany Beach Books, Candy Kitchen, and a bandstand hosting free concerts and movie nights. The author recommends visiting in late May, early June, September, or October for better prices and fewer crowds.
