Located on the Bethany border in Ocean View, just a few houses from Hocker’s Grocery and restaurants, easy access to the Fresh Pond Bike Trail, and just steps to the Assawoman Canal Trail perfect for biking or walking. Bethany Beach center is just a 5-10 minute drive (depending on traffic.). Just a 3 minute drive to James Farm Ecological Preserve and the Indian River Bay for hiking, kayaking, and swimming. Holts Landing State Park is a 10 minute drive. Biking to the beach takes approximately 12-15 minutes via the canal trail and Garfield Parkway. Walk to the beach in roughly 45 minutes, or walk the canal trail to Turtle Walk in 20 minutes and then take the shuttle. We are also a short stroll to a new Ledo's Pizza and Yellow Fin's next to Hocker's Grocery Store.

This location is ideal for checking out all that the Delaware and Maryland beaches have to offer. Drive 10-15 minutes north to the Delaware Seashore State Park and Dewey Beach, 20-25 minutes north to Rehoboth and Lewes, or head south and it's a 10-15 minute drive to Fenwick Island State Park and Fenwick...20 minutes to Ocean City. We also love visiting the Bethany Nature Center, Ocean View's John West Park (a short walk away), and the Delaware Botanic Gardens.
