Life Is... More Good-Natured Here
Southern Delaware is the perfect playground for outdoor adventurers. The natural beauty
of the area is captivating. Our ocean beaches have consistently achieved
5-star ratings from the Natural Resources Defense Council.
WE SPARKLE! Surfing, skimboarding,
beach sports and, of course, sunbathing
are high on the list of activities for visitors.
CAPE HENLOPEN STATE PARK offers
miles of beautiful hiking/biking trails that
meander through coastal marshes, pine
forests, and along ocean beaches. You’ll
find a fishing pier, a coastal fort, museum,
Frisbee golf, campgrounds, a nature center,
cycling, hiking, and more.
Don’t miss the scenic GORDONS POND
TRAIL that connects Rehoboth Beach with
Lewes! This trail can’t be beat for pure,
unspoiled coastal beauty.
TRAP POND STATE PARK, also with
many beautiful trails, is a wetland forest and
home to the northernmost natural stand
of bald cypress trees in the U.S. Have you
ever taken a pontoon boat tour of a cypress
swamp? At night? You can do that here in
Southern Delaware!
PRIME HOOK NATIONAL WILDLIFE
REFUGE draws hikers, photographers,
and birders — we’re right smack in the
middle of the Atlantic Flyway, so the birding
is phenomenal.
The NANTICOKE RIVER in western
Sussex County — the most pristine
tributary of the Chesapeake Bay —
provides countless opportunities for
recreation and sightseeing too.
Love boating, sailing, kayaking, parasailing,
kiteboarding, stand-up paddleboarding,
hiking, and biking? You’ll find all of that —
and more — right here.
