Yes, you can camp overnight on some Delaware beaches, but not directly on the sand. There are several campgrounds near the beach that offer a variety of camping options, including tent and RV camping. Some popular options include Delaware Seashore State Park, which has campsites located just behind the dunes and offers easy access to the beach. Another option is the Lums Pond State Park, which is not directly on the beach but is a short drive away. Find more beach camping in Delaware.
