Bethany Beach -Holiday Inn - Really Walking Distance to Beach?

[Anonymous]

Will be there next week. Have a 5 and 3 year old. They advertise as 2 blocks from beach. Have seen estimates though of 1/2 mile? Any experience out there with walking from hotel to beach with young kids?

The Holiday Inn is across a small street from Sea Colony's oceanfront condo highrises. So its close. BUT I don't think the Holiday Inn guests are allowed to access the beach through Sea Colony. You would need to walk down towards "downtown Bethany" for beach access. Ask the hotel where you can get on the beach - I would think it would be about 1/2 mile for beach access.
