The town of Ocean View, DE is located just one mile west of Bethany Beach and the Atlantic Ocean, and one mile
south of the Indian River Bay at the mouth of Indian River. Legend tells that 19th century residents could see the
ocean from the second floors of their homes, so the town became... Ocean View.
Today, Ocean View is a largely suburban town with plenty of amenities and many lovely communities. It's a short
drive to the beach and surrounded by tons of outdoor recreation and boating. As locals might describe it as, "a
friendly community comprised primarily of retirees" or "a place to come home to" with less than 2,000 year-round
residents and a median age of 51 years.
