Holts Landing State Park is a 203-acre (82 ha) Delaware state park northwest of Bethany Beach, Sussex County, Delaware, USA. Prior to becoming a state park the land of Holts Landing State Park was the Holt family farm. The Holts sold the land to the state of Delaware in 1957 and Holts Landing State Park was opened to the public in 1965. The park is on the southern shore of Indian River Bay. Holts Landing State Park is open for year-round recreation and features the only pier on the east coast of Delaware that has been purpose-built for crabbing, the recreational harvesting of blue crabs.

  • We enjoy going here periodically. It is wheelchair accessible. There is a toilet house that generally is clean. There is areas for a picnic and boat ramp. There is a fee to enter park.

  • Beautiful state park with lots to do. We enjoy coming here. They have a nice crabbing/fishing pier. (Only downside is all the large crab pots that are tied off the pier in the way). Large playground area for the small ones with charcoal grilling and pavilion.. Restrooms were clean. They have a large field with soccer Nets. They also have a pay meter that accepts credit cards only if there is no one in the booth. It is $4 for all day residents and $8 all day non-residents. Boat launch area is nice and convenient, they have two slips which can get quite busy depending on time of day. If you plan on going near the little beached area(s) be sure to bring bug spray or you will get eaten alive. My only complaint, which is not the parks fault is people that are disrespectful to others. If you have a truck with a tailgate that does not have a lock please beware of the people that will open your closed tailgate to throw "their trash" into your vehicle. It unfortunately happend to us. It's a carry in and carry out park. Let's do better people.
  • A park located by the bay. Offers a playground for kids, walking paths and a place to unload your boat into the bay. Most of the paths wind through dense trees. Tall pine trees drop lots of needles causing some designated paths to blend into nature - causing some confusion as to where to walk. The park also provided restrooms and a place to kayak. Lots of parking. Fun to visit.
