More than 30 people were already on the teaching courts when I joined one of the morning drop-in clinics Sea Colony runs on weekdays. It was approaching July, when every one of some 2,200 condominiums and homes fill up with summer guests and homeowners. While the beach is unquestionably the biggest draw, tennis with 34 hard and clay courts, 6 of them indoors, could easily lay claim to being the No. 2 reason people opt to vacation at Sea Colony.
Many owners told me that the deciding factor in their purchase of a home At Sea Colony was the quality of the tennis, both for them and their kids. Apart from those midweek clinics, Sea Colony’s summer roster lures players to the courts with Live Ball and Cardio sessions, doubles clinics, Nike Adult Camps, Sea Colony’s own tennis camps, custom-designed tennis getaways with optional mental-toughness component, social pro-run round robins, and a mix of junior programs running the gamut from drills and games for 4- to 7-year-olds to Nike tennis camps and tournament tough training. And the year is otherwise peppered with exhibitions, junior tournaments, demo days, and more. At any season the staff is there to help set up games, aided now by the ability of guests and members to sign up online. All of this is designed to keep tennis in the forefront of people’s consciousness.
Sea Colony dates to the early 1970s and has something of a split personality. Route 1 divides two completely different neighborhoods. On one side is the beach—a broad boulevard of soft sand bordered by dunes over which looms a phalanx of frankly rather stark 10-to-14-story towers, their harshness somewhat relieved by long dune-fronting boardwalks, broad patios, and the occasional swimming pool, one of them indoors. On the opposite side of the highway, a tiny marketplace of shops and restaurants marks the entrance to a leafy and altogether tranquil community of residential streets with low-rise condominiums and homes, lakes, ponds, swimming pools, and a $7.5 million fitness and aquatics center, linked to one another and the beach by trams and dedicated bike paths.
Sea Colony boasts a top-tier tennis and pickleball facility—a three-time winner of the USTA Outstanding Facility of the Year award, most recently in 2022—and a wide range of programs that serve as a tremendous asset. This excellence is further enhanced by the friendly and always-helpful staff. With a talented team of professionals, including college and former college players, Sea Colony continues to deliver exceptional racquet sports experiences for players of all levels.
Tennis Programs: During the busy summer season, there are daily adult clinics, daily Cardio sessions, and a variety of junior clinics for various ages from Monday through Friday. There are as many as five round robins weekly during the busy summer. At any season the staff is there to help set up games, aided now by the ability of guests and members to sign up online (see Sea Colony Tennis for a detailed overview of all things tennis). And roughly once a month from April to October, some sort of special event—a professional, sanctioned, or social tournament, a visiting pro, or an exhibition—rounds out the program. And during the summer months of June to August there are two or three NIKE adult tennis camps each month (ALERT: these tend to sell out early). Beyond that, Sea Colony offers tailor-made weekend camps for small groups.
On paper, this all appears to be rock-solid choice of tennis options, but what sets them apart is the number of participants. On a day in August when temperatures had soared above 95 degrees, more than 30 adults and juniors turned out for the 10 a.m. intermediate clinic and another 30-plus attended the advanced clinic. I also counted 20 beginners in afternoon junior clinic, which had astutely been scheduled for the indoor courts.
Tennis aside, Sea Colony has also made the move into pickleball with four permanent courts and blended lines on 14 of the tennis courts and an additional 4 permanent courts, a total of 8 with lights. Certified pickleball instructors are available for clinics and private lessons, supplemented by pickleball and hybrid tennis and pickleball camps for adults (including some for advanced pickleball), and NIKE camps for juniors. Instruction aside, Sea Colony stages pickleball clinics, social round robins, and a variety of morning and evening Open Plays sessions for all levels. Court Complex. Although there are four lighted hard courts at the beach, the real tennis action takes place at the main tennis center. It comprises six indoor hard courts with sandwiched between another six outdoor courts and 14 Har-Tru courts. There are and additional four hard courts in the trees across the road, two of those now sporting blended lines to accommodate pickleball. Grand Central Station for tennis is the pro shop on the ground floor of the indoor building. Above it, a long viewing area overlooks the indoor courts and has a bar for use in special events. It opens in back onto a broad deck with a panoramic perspective on the Har-Tru courts, where The Vacasa Pro Women’s Open, a $25K Pro Circuit event, takes place in May. Although the pro shop closes at 7 p.m., those well-lighted indoor courts remain open on a first-come, first-served basis until 10 p.m.
Court fees: None, not even for the indoor courts.
Off Court
Beach: Sea Colony fronts ½ mile of Bethany Beach, a broad boulevard of soft sand washed by the Atlantic Ocean. A free shuttle takes guests from Sea Colony West (where the tennis center is) across Route 1 to the beach.
Fitness Center:Â A short walk from the tennis center is $7.5 million multi-use fitness and aquatic center with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a snack bar, gymnasium, and a well-equipped workout room. Personal trainers are available as are a variety of classes, including spinning, Zumba (both aquatic and dry land), yoga, Barre toning, and water aerobics.
Bike paths lace Sea Colony West making it easy for kids to get from houses and townhomes there to the tennis courts, fitness center, or marketplace (though to reach the beach they have to cross busy Route 1).
Children's programs: Colony Kids and Club Sea Colony take kids for 2 and 4 hours respectively for a mix of swimming, games, crafts, and other diversions.
Dining: The Marketplace at the entrance to Sea Colony has two restaurants: several restaurants, Fin’s Ale House and Armand’s Pizza among them, but there are numerous other choices within easy driving distance in Bethany and Fenwick Beaches.
Accommodations
Lodging consists of 1-to-5 bedroom condos and houses, some oceanfront, others near the tennis complex. During the summer, one-week bookings are required.
Getting there
Seasons: Year-round thanks to its indoor courts.
Travel Instructions: The nearest major airports are Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), each roughly a 2½-hour drive from Bethany Beach. The alternative is to fly into Salisbury Regional Airport (SBY) in Salisbury, MD, which is approximately 45 minutes’ drive south of Bethany Beach.
I love tennis aerobics! It was both instructional and physically challenging to help my game. What a terrific way to work out!
SB
We enjoyed our ladie’s weekend tennis clinic at Sea Colony. The instructor was helpful with the varying skill levels in our group, and asked about the strategies and strokes we needed help with. We were worn out after the Saturday afternoon lessons, then refreshed and eager to play again Sunday morning after some relaxing time in Bethany. It was a great team building experience.
AF
Sea Colony is a wonderful location for a family vacation. The resort has a wide range of amenities with access to the beach as well as area restaurants and activities. The tennis facilities are top notch with a range of surfaces. The youth tennis program is exceptional. My son has participated in the tennis camp for several years and gets a tremendous amount out of it.
EM
Courts are well maintained. Lighting for evening play is good. Indoor facilties are great. Cardio work outs are perfect to imrpove your game. When you are not at the couyrts there are many great things to do at Sea Colony; Beach walks, swimming, fitness center and many good restaraunts in the surrounding areas of Bethany, Rehoboth and Ocean City.

My friends and I had a great time. Learned a lot and had fun learning. We went as a group. The pro was awesome. Courts were nice and I’m glad they also had an indoors courts in case of rain. The setting was also very nice. Totally enjoyed!!!

The newly renovated Tennis Center is outstanding. Great indoor lighting and plenty of room, complete with a second floor lounge and overlook of all the outdoor courts. They really paid attention to detail and the 2 extra indoor courts make getting a court time easier. Love this place

Sea Colony is great. I have referred all of my tennis friends there. Now, they all love it too!!
LS
Instruction is great. Facility beautiful. Rates reasonable.

Strength: Great facility and instructors. Weakness: does not open to public/area residents/visitors if they don’t live in Sea Colony, so too inclusive.
RC
The best possible combination of facilities, staff, and setting. There is always something available for tennis whether it is the court availability, clinics, match making, lessons or club events. Sea Colony is a unique resort setting on the Delaware shore with an emphasis on family fun.
NG
Sea Colony tennis is a great facility. They have numerous courts — both inside and outside — and in general excellent instructors. They have mastered the group classes for both kids and adults, and know how to make it both instructional and fun. Their private lessons are excellent too. And perhaps what I like best of all? After a two-year hiatus, I returned to Sea Colony last summer and the Director of tennis, Thomas, remembered me! That makes it very welcoming too!
LD
enthusiastic and friendly instructors with the ability to pick up on where you are. excellent courts and facility.
PR
The best in the Northeast for tennis clinics. Great beach. Family Friendly and plenty of good restaurants
RG
Great camp and great beach to visit. Very family oriented resort. Pros are friendly and all lend to helpping tennis players of all levels learn. Drills and cardiac tennis are geared to all levels of play. all programs are morning in the summer and might be nice to add round robins in afternoons. the program is great at matching players of different levels/.
BM
I should start by saying I am an older adult beginner student. I started with the summer stroke clinics which were taught by collegiate tennis players. The summer instructors were all very confident, Friendly, patient, young mean and women. When they went back to School the pro Thomas Johnson took over the stroke clinic. He is very knowledgable in many facets of the game. The one thing that Stands out to me about both the student instructors and Mr. Johnson is Their ability to communicate to the students taking the class. Instruction is clear and detailed and explained when needed . They make learning the game fun!
GK
The HarTru courts are FABULOUS…they are well maintained and very consistent. For those who prefer hard courts, the same level of consistency is noted. The staff is very well trained and quite helpful, making the overall tennis experience very well done. The only weakness in the program is the need to get your court reservations in early.
DW
Enjoyed the tennis clinics very much. Great tennis director. Recommend booking indoor courts asap for lessons if rain is in forecast. There aren’t many indoor courts. My family had a great time at Sea Colony between the beach, pools, tennis and biking.
AP
The instruction at Sea Colony is second to none. The instruction on stroke and technique has really elevated my game. The staff is always quick to make sure each group in the clinics are of similar ability. They are great about keeping a good pace. All these reasons are enough to keep going back for more!
LL
Can’t beat awesome tennis clinic in the morning and then lunch on the beach in the afternoon!!
LY
We thoroughly enjoyed Sea Colony when we attended the first time with another tennis couple. My husband took advantage of the cardio tennis which kept him moving at a great tempo, while my 10 year old and I attended Zumba class at the fitness center. The website and staff were very helpful to find activities, classes and clinics that we could all enjoy. We had a great time, ran into other tennis friends that we knew while there. We look forward to being back at Sea Colony again this summer.
JP
Went for their clinics and aerobic tennis – great experience -always kept us moving and enjoyable !
BK
I loved everything. I came with a group of women who are all very strong players. I started out the weekend with a comment by one of the pros who knew me from previous visits to Sea Colony “have you been playing much?” Geez. I hadn’t been and it was a nice way of addressing the fact that my game was not up to snuff. However, by the end of the weekend I had so much information that I have been able to systematically put my game back on the map. It was a resurrection that occurred in less than 2 weeks after that weekend. I went home and worked on the ball machine every day to try to make the changes suggest to my game become more natural.

The resort is fabulous…..great pros, facilities are super, courts are immaculate…..could not asked for a better place and it’s in DELAWARE??

Sea Colony has a fantastic tennis facility with so many har-tru courts that are kept very well plus hard courts and fantastic indoor facility with 6 (or 7?) air conditioned courts. Location in Bethany Beach, DE is easy to get to with ocean beach right there. The staff is extremely friendly with great knowledge of tennis and a genuine interest in helping all their guests. The word is out too as many good players are normally visiting and looking for play.
SH
We stayed on the beach but the tennis courts were minutes away. The lessons were structured to keep our kids (5,7) engaged and interested. The staff were great with kids of all levels and even made the ball machine available on short notice. We all had a great time.
KM
Relaxed. Inexpensive. Good weekend get away for an adult team. Friendly staff. Not stuffy or snobby. Fun!
DN
Very relaxed and flexible to fit our group and level needs as well as request. Instruction is very good with 1 instructor to every 4 participants. Great price for 8 hours of tennis instruction. No heavy pressure and not very intense. Did not stay at resort and it was winter so can’t really comment on the vacation/accommodations/food aspects. Good enough that our group goes one to two times every year!
DC
The staff is tremendous, very helpful and welcoming. The new addition of two more indoor courts and all new bathrooms as well as tennis shop/ front desk area has made a great facility even better!

I am fortunate to live in the Bethany Beach Delaware area, so I have the opportunity to enjoy tennis at Sea Colony regularly. We are lucky to have a top notch facility and staff available on a year round basis. The recently remodeled facility boasts 6 well kept indoor and 28 outdoor court, a fashionable, nicely organized pro shop that appeals to all ages, and a top notch viewing lounge with amenities that makes it easy to give Sea Colony a 5 STAR RATING.

Winter Memberships are offered to locals who are not homeowners at Sea Colony. This is an amazing opportunity which I take full advantage of while living in nearby Lewes, DE. Many out of State friends thoroughly enjoy the Adult Tennis Camps and drop-in clinics. The facility recently had a major renovation only adding to the spectacular facility. With 30 courts total, both Har-Tru and Hard surfaces, there’s something for everyone. It’s a must place to add to your Bucket List.

Our USTA Ladies tennis team returned for the 3rd time over the past 2 years for a comprehensive weekend mini-camp with Thomas Johnston and his great staff.

Incredibly well managed by seasoned Tennis Director Thomas Johnston. He runs a great tennis program and applies his tremendous skill, humor, smarts and all around supportive personality to your tennis experience. He is a seasoned and effective tennis pro, hires and engages a wonderful staff of adult and junior pros and is a superb motivator. He does everything in his power to create a perfect vacation or weekend camp, and to teach and accelerate you and your children’s tennis game. Its a wonderful all around experience, one of the very best in the US.

They have numerous clinics for all levels of players. They’ve instituted a new system to arrange matches for players of similar ability and availability.
