How to Find Cheap Flights + Coastal Getaways in May (Bethany, Dewey, Fenwick & Cape May)
May was all about movement — finding the freedom to explore without overspending, and soaking in salty air across charming coastal towns. From airfare deals to sandy strolls, this month focused on making travel both easier and more memorable.
We kicked things off with a deep dive into one of the most requested topics: how to fly for less. Finding Cheap Flights: Insider Hacks to Save Big on Airfare was packed with practical tips, tools I personally use, and lesser-known tricks that can stretch your travel budget without sacrificing the adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or just starting out, this guide is meant to help you book smarter and travel farther.
With flights sorted, the beaches started calling — and May answered in full force. First up was Bethany Beach, a peaceful retreat with quiet charm and boardwalk sunsets. Just down the road, Dewey Beach brought a livelier vibe, full of beach bars, live music, and that laid-back energy that summer promises.
Fenwick Island offered a slower pace — think bike rides, lighthouse views, and local eats that make you feel like a regular. And then there was Cape May, a timeless favorite with Victorian homes, cozy cafés, and coastal views that never get old. It’s the kind of place where every corner feels like a postcard, and every visit feels just a little bit different.
May reminded me that travel doesn’t always need to be far-flung or expensive. With a little planning and a few well-timed searches, you can make magic happen — whether you’re jetting off somewhere new or returning to a favorite beach town.
Wherever you’re headed next, I hope these stories, tools, and coastal stops help you get there with ease and inspiration.
Here’s to breezy escapes, smarter travel, and chasing those sunny moments all summer long.
