Explore Bethany Beach With Your Dog

Bethany Beach is particularly enjoyable with your dog once the summer season winds down.

From October 1 through May 14, leashed dogs are permitted on Bethany Beach and the boardwalk, opening up plenty of opportunities for morning walks by the ocean and relaxed strolls through town.

For a little more outdoor adventure, nearby James Farm Ecological Preserve offers dog-friendly trails through coastal forests, marshes and meadows.

Be sure to check current local regulations before your trip, as seasonal rules can change.
