About Sussex County Beach Living

Celebrating the beauty, culture, creativity, history, and relaxed lifestyle that make the Delaware Beaches such a wonderful place to live, visit, and explore.

Welcome to Our Corner of Coastal Delaware

My name is Kelly, and I created Sussex County Beach Living to celebrate the beauty, culture, history, and lifestyle that make the Delaware Beaches such a wonderful place to live, visit, and explore.

After retiring and moving to the Delaware Beaches with my husband, Dave, I quickly fell in love with everything Sussex County has to offer. From peaceful beaches and scenic waterways to a vibrant arts community and countless local events, I realized there was so much happening throughout the year that many people never hear about.

Sussex County Beach Living was created to bring all of these wonderful experiences together in one welcoming place.

Whether you are a year-round resident, a seasonal visitor, considering relocating to coastal Delaware, or simply planning a beach vacation, my goal is to help you discover all that makes Sussex County such a special destination.

“The coast has a way of inspiring us to slow down, explore more, and notice the beauty all around us.”

One of the things that makes Sussex County unique is that each town has its own personality and charm. Throughout this website, you will find guides featuring the history, attractions, restaurants, shopping, outdoor recreation, schools, healthcare resources, parks, and lifestyle opportunities found in each community.

Explore the historic streets of Lewes, relax on the beaches of Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach, enjoy the lively waterfront atmosphere of Dewey Beach, experience the quiet beauty of Fenwick Island, or discover the small-town charm and artistic spirit of Milton.

We also celebrate the natural beauty of Broadkill Beach, Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Delaware Bay, and the many rivers, marshes, and state parks that make this region one of the most scenic coastal destinations on the East Coast.

Supporting Local Artists

As an artist myself, I have a special appreciation for the incredible creative talent found throughout Sussex County. The Delaware Beaches have long inspired painters, photographers, sculptors, jewelry makers, woodworkers, potters, and artisans of every kind.

Each month, Sussex County Beach Living proudly features a local artist, giving visitors an opportunity to learn about the artist’s creative journey, view their work, and discover the inspiration behind their art.

Whether you are an established artist, an emerging artist, a photographer, furniture designer, craftsperson, or creator of unique handmade work, we invite you to share your story and become part of our growing artistic community.

For those who love art, we hope you will enjoy discovering talented local artists and finding beautiful works inspired by the beaches, bays, marshes, and coastal landscapes that surround us.
