Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Delaware Seashore State Park covers a fascinating stretch of coastline that offers a blend of ocean, freshwater, and shore ecosystems. Established in 1965, this park plays a crucial role in preserving the natural beauty and wildlife habitats along Delaware's Atlantic coast. The park is divided by Indian River Inlet, known for its photogenic tall bridge and rich fishing grounds. The area is famous for activities like swimming, surfing, and sunbathing on its expansive beaches. Away from the shoreline, visitors will find tidal marshes teeming with life, including a variety of bird species and small marine life. The historic Indian River Life-Saving Station, a museum, and educational center invites guests to learn about the area's maritime past. With over six miles of ocean and bay shoreline, Delaware Seashore State Park remains a vibrant draw for those seeking both adventure and relaxation.
