A Letter from the Founder
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.”

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.
More Than a Beach Destination
The Beauty of Coastal Delaware
Sussex County offers far more than beautiful beaches.
Residents and visitors enjoy rich history, vibrant
cultural experiences, exceptional dining, tax-free
shopping, nature preserves, wildlife refuges, boating
opportunities, world-class fishing, and year-round
community events.
Whether you are watching a spectacular sunrise over the
Atlantic Ocean, enjoying a sunset over Delaware Bay,
exploring a quiet marsh trail, attending an outdoor
concert, or admiring artwork inspired by the coast, there
is something here for everyone to enjoy.
