This is so interesting…Did you know that prior to the 1950s, no railroad came to Bethany Beach?  You would have to travel by train to Baltimore, Maryland, spend the night there, then, travel by boat across the Chesapeake Bay to the Delmarva Peninsula and by train across the peninsula to Rehoboth Beach.  Still, you had to board a steamer, prior to 1910, called Atlantic, across Rehoboth Bay and Indian River Bay to Ocean View, then, on horse drawn carriage to Bethany Beach.

On July 1910, the Loop Canal was completed in Bethany Beach, therefore, you could take the motorboat Allie May.  In 1912 the Helen Marie II replaced Allie May, to dock at the town itself.   Exhausting to say the least!!

Bethany Beach is still considered a Quiet Resort.  The town gets so packed in the summer and then, a well deserved rest through the winter.  The Second Season brings a lot of visitors; it is one of the best times of the year.

The best way to travel through Bethany Beach is by taking the Trolley.  It is the best deal in town.  Can you believe that it is still $.25 each way?  The driver does not make change so make sure you have quarters.  It is in service through mid September from 9:30 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.  Last pick up at Atlantic & Garfield is at 9:45 p.m.

You can flag down the Trolley  along the routes for pick up and discharge except on Rt. 26 & Rt. 1.  For more info., please visit http://www.townofbethanybeach.com, then click on Services and scroll down to Trolley.
