Vegan Food in Bethany Beach

Bethany Beach, DE

Vegan food in Bethany Beach… is still leaning on the scarce side as this little beach town definitely holds tradition and old fashioned charm close to its heart. I will be honest with you, I don’t come here for the vegan food. I come for the memories, gorgeous beach environment, adorable boardwalk, and peace of mind that this beach has given me for years of my life. This is actually the beach that my family has vacationed at since I was a little girl. It holds a VERY special place in my heart, despite its lack of vegan food! But do not fret!! There are still options to get you by! I have laid them all out here for you so you can easily find food on your next vegan vacation!

Places to Eat

As I mentioned, there are not a lot but there’s still more than enough to enjoy on your visit. I still highly recommend taking a visit here. The beach is truly beautiful and it is still very clean and quaint when compared with more popular and modern beaches. So here is what I recommend!

The Penguin

If you are looking for a legit vegan breakfast come here! They only have a couple vegan options but they are actually quite good!! I got the Veggie MMMM Melt with a side of vegan sausage! It was really delicious and you can always lure me in with some vegan sausage.

Heidaway

I did not have the chance to try this spot but it does seem to have a couple nice vegan lunch and dinner options! They have a veggie pasta and a veggie burger with some options for sides. Again, not hugely diverse but still a great place to find a solid meal that is very close to the beach.

Beach Break Bakrie

Here I got to enjoy a delicious hummus wrap! The pita was soft and scrumptious and the veggies were fresh. A nice light and refreshing lunch while on a hot beach!

3 Blonde Bakers

This was my FAVORITE option!! They cater more to breakfast and brunch but you can definitely find something to eat here. They have a limited but yummy variety of vegan bakery options along with fantastic acai bowls, smoothies, coffees, and bagels! They even have vegan butter… I really liked their scones and matcha lates with oat milk.

Maureens

MMMMMMMM I LOVE Maureens!! You will too if you love a good vegan milkshake! They have 3 vegan ice cream flavors here and they are super creamy and very delicious! I got the cookies and cream milkshake….and went back for another!

Turtle Cafe

Turtle beach cafe is a great place to stop for coffee, smoothies, or a light salad. Not a ton of options but it is right on the beach for when you need something quick and refreshing!

Salt Provisions

Ok…this mayyy seem random but it is not! Actually, if you like Kombucha this is the right place for you! This shop sells some great local soaps and other small items but you can also find locally sourced Kombucha AND some vegan iced coffees! So I would still recommend making a stop here for a refreshing drink! It’s hot, you’re gunna need it.

FRIES

Let’s be honest, you’re at the beach…so enjoy the food!! You can find delicious and crispy boardwalk fries everywhere here!! The ultimate vegan savior. I recommend putting some vinegar on them, it is quite delicious.

Grocery Shopping – It’s Going to Be Your Friend

I highly recommend doing a little grocery shopping and meal prepping while you are in Bethany. This is not a bad thing! It always saves me money AND you can find great vegan snacks and meals this way!

Giant

This is the chain we used and I found a bounty of vegan snacks and mini meals here! For example, I found amazing mac and cheese (in the shape of cute fish!), microwave curries, granola, vegan fruit roll-ups, amazing produce, delicious vegan chicken, and more!
