Bethany Beach
Delaware
WBS Home Coast
A quiet, family-friendly beach town with sandbar peaks that work on most east swells. Small days are good for learning, and fall can deliver clean waves with fewer people around. Like other Delaware towns, Bethany has seasonal surfing rules, so check them before paddling out.
