State Park Beach Must See

• ©

With a 24-hour fishing pier and nearby campgrounds, Cape Henlopen State Park attracts seaside nature enthusiasts. The rest of the park has set hours, morning to sunset, for activities like playing disc golf, horseback riding, kayaking, and swimming. Head to the northern beach, which features a modern bathhouse with showers, changing rooms, and a snack bar. You can also explore the park on one of the many bicycle and walking paths. If you'd like to get up close to local fish and learn more about the park's habitats, stop by the Seaside Nature Center. Entrance to the park is free in the off-season, and a fee is charged per vehicle during the peak summer months.

  My husband and I went here based on other TripAdvisor reviews to hunt for sea glass. Found none, the weather was incredibly windy, but we spotted some unique distinctive shells and pet a sting ray :)

  Fishing pier there. Great when certain fishes are running. Right now striped bass are still being caught as they migrate back to Chesapeake Bay. They will return in the spring when water temperature rise to 54 degrees. The female bass move into rivers and backwaters to spawn.
