Bethany Beach Restaurants

Escape the bustling boardwalks and discover Bethany Beach, one of the "quiet resorts," where you'll experience a true seaside escape and the chance to enjoy some fine seafood only found on the Eastern seaboard. Try the iconic blue crabs, a culinary mainstay that shines in crab soup and crab dip. Crabs are also a feast by themselves in big, steamed heaps doused in the ubiquitous Old Bay seasoning. Locals love this iconic spice blend so much that they even put it on their fries. Enjoy a dockside brunch of fresh-caught oysters and a local craft beer, taste a fried soft-shelled crab traditionally served on a roll with mayo, lettuce and tomato [2], or feast on lobster imperial and a bottle of chilled Maryland wine.
