[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bethany is crowded. Why are people saying it isn’t? Just because OC is worse? Check out the beach cams at Sea Colony in season. I don’t see the appeal of Bethany at all, and I have a family member with a home there where I can stay for free. [/quote]

Of course Sea colony is going to be crowded with all those high rise dense complex.

The point is that if you go outside of that and a few blocks from the main strip, it is not.  Also, if you are in north or south bethany, it is not.

Besides sea colony, Bethany doesn’t have condo complexes or lots of hotels like OC and Rehoboth.  So it keeps the density of people down.

Lastly, during the weekdays in the summer, it’s definitely not as crowded as the weekends.

You have young kids, OP, and Bethany is hands down the best option if you want family friendly beach under 3 hours.
We have a house in Bethany, bought when DS was 1.  Not only has the value doubled but we have made so many family mementoes at the beach.  It’s also a great weekend getaway year round.  That is priceless and we are not selling anytime soon.

But there’s basically nothing outside of those few blocks where everyone is crammed in. That’s why it’s not crowded. It’s just houses. If you want to eat, shop, or go to the boardwalk, you are dealing with the crowds. Rehobeth is at least a little bigger so it absorbs the crowds a little bit better. I do not understand the appeal of Bethany at all. People are so snobby about owning homes there and it really isn’t that great.[/quote]

The multi-million dollar houses wealthy in gated communities with private beaches don’t need to eat or shop in town or go to the boardwalk on the weekends.

We don’t fit above but FYI lots of great restaurants not in town and close by. [/quote]
