Welcome to the Locals' Guide to Delaware Beaches

Curated with love by someone who knows and lives it.

There’s something special about the Delaware beaches — the kind of magic that only reveals itself once you know where to look. I created this guide as a love letter to the places that make our beach towns feel like home: restaurants run by passionate friends, quiet corners perfect for a morning coffee, and the kind of local gems that don’t always show up on Yelp.

This isn’t just a list — it’s a collection of meaningful places, hand-picked by someone who grew up coming here, walks these streets daily, and believes in supporting the people who make this coastal community shine.

Whether you’re visiting for the weekend or lucky enough to call this place home, I hope this guide helps you fall a little more in love with it — one unforgettable bite, sip, or view at a time.

With love,

M
