Take Route 26 straight into Bethany. To reach South Bethany and Fenwick, head south on Route 1 at the end of Route 26. To make your trip more enjoyable, try to plan your arrival at the beaches at times other than Friday night and Saturday afternoon when beach-going traffic is heaviest. Traffic leaving the beach is heaviest Sunday evenings. Keep an eye on the speed limits once you reach the Delmarva Peninsula.
Police officers keep a tight rein on the speed limits here.
When you turn east toward Route 13 just north of Middletown, be aware that the speed limit just after you turn east is 25 mph and then 35 mph before reaching 50 mph again.
