We know many of you think summer when you hear Bethany Beach, but there is plenty for residents and visitors in Bethany Beach and the surrounding coastal towns to do year-round.   Coming up at the end of January is the annual Fire & Ice Festival, and this year's selected theme is "Into the Wild".   Some highlights are ice sculptures and live carving demonstrations, a s’mores bonfire on the beach, and fireworks.  This winter festival has events taking place in Bethany Beach, Ocean View, Millville and Frankford.  If you are a homeowner, we know this event is a great reason to be in town, whether it be Bethany Beach or the nearby towns.  If you are looking for a beach property of your own, this would be a great weekend to mix in some fun while seeing homes
