Some of my closest DC girlfriends and I spent a weekend at Bethany Beach, and it was such a wonderful weekend getaway! I’m used to traveling many hours to get to the beach (almost always in North Carolina), and it was such a treat to be only 2.5 hours from the beach this time! Though we left early Saturday morning, we were able to get two full days in at my friend’s beach house right by Bethany Beach, Delaware.

Our weekend was filled with lots of sunny, warm beach time, stunning sunsets over the marsh, morning coffee on the porch, plenty of wine and popcorn, lounging at the pool, lots of laughter, grilling seafood and veggies, and plenty of really great conversations together. I am so thankful for these ladies, and I love that we miraculously found a weekend to escape together to the shore.

It was my first time visiting a beach between North Carolina and Cape Cod, and I love how close Bethany Beach is to Washington, DC. What is your favorite beach to visit? I’m a huge fan of Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina, as that’s the beach my family has been to many times & it holds such happy memories for us all!
