With six miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline between Dewey Beach and the Indian River Inlet, this popular park includes ocean and bay beaches with bathhouses for public swimming, surf fishing, surfing, skimboarding, kiteboarding and sailboating. At the inlet, Delaware Seashore features a large campground plus the 295-slip Indian River Marina with charter and head boats for ocean fishing trips. All summer long, soon after sunrise, playful dolphins patrol the shallow waters just beyond the surf line. Stroll along the quiet beach as these beautifully sleek creatures leap and dive just a few hundred feet away. Open daily 8 a.m. to sunset. Entrance fee May through October and annual vehicle permits available. Located on Route 1 between Dewey Beach and Bethany Beach. Call the park at 302.227.2800 or the marina at 302.227.3071 or visit https://www.destateparks.com/Beaches/DelawareSeashore

Fantastic experience. Me and my husband got a spot on the south inlet and we had easy access to the beach. They kept the bath houses spotless the entire time. I was incredibly happy with how nice everything :)) I totally recommend coming here. The beaches were pristeen and you can tell how much pride the people have for their beach. It really was so awesome for my first time camping and I can't wait to come back!

Premier place to be for camping, fishing, surfing, kayaking, hiking, dining, seafood, and biking. The staff are very nice people. Great dock side dining and drinking. Live music at night in season.
For the angler, Hook'em an Cook'em is a full service bait and tackle with fresh seafood and a lunch counter. Inshore or off they have you covered. They also run head boats and clean your catch.
The marina has private docking, dry stack and 2 quality public ramps. Gas and diesel is available at the fuel dock.
All good here, enjoy. You'll like.
