About Ocean View
Ocean View is a small Sussex County town of about 2,400 just west of Bethany Beach, one of Delaware's quieter beach towns. It's a residential community more than a resort — no boardwalk of its own, but Bethany's beach and boardwalk are minutes east, and the James Farm Ecological Preserve offers bay-side trails. Homes are single-family houses and newer developments; the vibe is low-key coastal living.
