Cape Henlopen State Park
With military monuments and marine life, Cape Henlopen is more than just a beach vacation.
History and nature collide at this coastal state park, which sits at the meeting point of Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Dive into WWII history with a visit to the Fort Miles Museum, marvel at fish and stingrays in the Seaside Nature Center, then head out to Beach Plum Island to spot shorebirds and horseshoe crabs. Once you’ve admired the views on a coastal walk or bike ride, head down to the beach to swim, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard. Cape Henlopen Campground has plenty of shady spots amid the pine-clad dunes, with electric hookups for RVs and cozy camper cabins.
