Beach replenishment for Bethany Beach, originally estimated to begin prior to the start of the 2023 summer season, is now expected to begin in either May or June.

The overall project to replenish all the Delaware beaches was scheduled to start in late March, but has been delayed due to a scheduling conflict with the contractor who is completing a similar project on the New Jersey shore. Replenishment will begin in Rehoboth Beach and move southward with completion in the Town of Fenwick Island.

Bethany Beach's replenishment will take place from Third Street to Wellington Parkway, and in South Bethany, from North Fifth Street to the north end of Fenwick Island State Park.

The Town of Bethany Beach will provide project updates on the town

We are well into the month of March and it is hard to believe that we will soon welcome the first day of Spring! Light traffic and sun-filled days make it a beautiful time of the year to visit the beach.  

During the first 10 weeks of the year, we continued to experience a competitive market as buyer demand has remained high and we are still navigating low inventory. As the chart illustrates, total sales are down 40% when compared to last year while sales volume is down 42%. Property values have remained stable when compared to 2022 as the median price to-date is $865K vs. $850K in 2022.
