Delaware & Maryland Beach Real Estate 

Delaware and Maryland are both home to hundreds of miles of beautiful coastlines, estuaries, and canals. This varied shorefront is distributed around Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, the outer sea wall and islands, and the inner bays including Rehoboth, Indian River, Assawoman, and Chincoteague. 


Much of this coastline is lined with scenic beaches, providing the perfect backdrop for bustling beach towns and quiet coastal cottages. These areas and communities are known for their entertaining boardwalks, quaint shops, sumptuous restaurants, and activities like sailing, crabbing, hunting, surfing, fishing, paddle boarding, and kayaking. 


Delaware and Maryland's coastal areas are dominated by rural countryside, including small farms and forests. There are also large parks and nature reserves, waterways, and beaches. 


And, of course, there is an abundance of communities where you can find the perfect home or part-time residence. These communities range from tiny farming villages to large beachside resort towns. Below is a least of Delaware and Maryland's most prominent beachside and coastal communities.

Buying Coastal Property

  • What do you want the property for? If you're planning to live in it, a bigger home may be better. However, if you're looking for a part-time or income property, then smaller may be better for the lower taxes and maintenance costs. 
  • Investigate the history of the area - Is there erosion or flooding? At what rate?
  • If you're building your own custom home, opt for a basement or raised foundation.
  • Make sure that the home has adequate heating and insulation, even for summer use. The northeast coast can get cold and damp.
  • Be flexible with the kind of water access you're looking for. There's more than just beaches in Maryland and Delaware. Instead, consider the many rivers, canals, islands, lakes, and bays. 

Beachside Real Estate in Delaware

Delaware is a state known for its peaceful and scenic coastline. This coastline is also home to a number of beautiful seaside communities, particularly at Rehoboth, Bethany, and Fenwick Island.

Natural attractions in this area include Little Assawoman Bay, Indian River Bay, Rehoboth Bay, Great Cypress Swamp, Cape Henlopen State Park, Great Marsh Preserve, and Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. 


The combination of protected waters, pristine beaches, scenic farmland, forests, and quaint towns, make this a wonderful area for living, or visiting.
