Each town has their own style and allure, each with their own reason to become your favorite. From small towns to vibrant boardwalks, it\u2019s the charm that keeps people coming back for generations. Tomo Mortgage compiled this list of places to buy a beach house in Delaware, some may seem obvious, some may not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bethany Beach<\/strong>: Of course we start our list off with Bethany Beach. Bethany Beach is a family-friendly resort town with a relaxed and laid-back vibe. It boasts clean, uncrowded beaches, scenic dunes, and a charming boardwalk lined with shops, restaurants, and ice cream parlors. It also boosts some beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/collections\/beach\/bethany-beach-de?utm_source=tomo_blog\" title=\"\">homes for sale on and near the beach.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dagsboro, DE:<\/strong> This is a small town with just over 1,000 residents, it\u2019s located inland, not directly on the beach, but since it\u2019s near several popular beach destinations it\u2019s a convenient base for beachgoers. Since this town is not located directly on a beach, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/collections\/beach\/dagsboro-de?utm_source=tomo_blog\" title=\"\">find homes near the beach<\/a> at much better price points than homes directly on the beach.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fenwick Island<\/strong>: Fenwick Island is a quiet, family-friendly, laid-back beach town located near the southern border of Delaware. You\u2019ll find go-karting, mini-golf and a water park, along with pristine beaches and scenic views. <a href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/collections\/beach\/fenwick-island-de?utm_source=tomo_blog\" title=\"\">Beach homes for sale<\/a> here sit between the bay and the ocean offering spectacular views.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frankford, DE<\/strong>: The small town of Frankford rests just a few miles from the beautiful Delaware coast. In Frankford, you can enjoy a zoo, vineyard, and an Alpaca Farm, when not at Bethany beach or Fenwick Island enjoying the sun. Once again, like Dagsboro, since <a href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/collections\/beach\/frankford-de?utm_source=tomo_blog\" title=\"\">homes for sale<\/a> are not directly on the beach, you\u2019ll find better price points than the neighboring beach towns.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lewes<\/strong>: While not directly on the ocean, Lewes is a historic coastal town located at the mouth of Delaware Bay. This town is known for its picturesque waterfront, historic architecture, and charming downtown area. Lewes is a walking town, within a half square mile you\u2019ll find everything you need, including <a href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/collections\/beach\/lewes-de?utm_source=tomo_blog\" title=\"\">homes for sale near the beach<\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Milford, DE<\/strong>: This is a small city located in central Delaware with a vibrant downtown and short drive to the beach. There are an assortment of <a href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/collections\/beach\/milford-de?utm_source=tomo_blog\" title=\"\">homes for sale<\/a> with different price points in this community.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Millsboro, DE:<\/strong> This town offers a combination of small-town charm, outdoor recreation, and convenient access to coastal amenities, making it an attractive place to live for residents and visitors alike.
