Its name and origins date back to 1901, when it was chosen as a site for religious gatherings. Today Bethany Beach is primarily a low-key, family-friendly resort with a few motels, hotels and bed-and-breakfasts. The town's mile-/kilometer-long boardwalk is relatively free of commercial enterprises. On summer evenings, there is free entertainment at the Bandstand on the Boardwalk. 90 mi/145 km south of Wilmington.
