Cape Henlopen State Park
Cape Henlopen State Park sits where the Delaware Bay meets the ocean, with tall sand dunes and quiet beaches. It has trails, an old lighthouse view, and a fishing pier.
It is famous for its giant Walking Dunes and historic World War Two watchtowers you can climb. Families love the nature center touch tanks and the calm bayside beach for little kids.
History
Concrete watchtowers along the shore were built long ago to guard the coast during World War Two. You can climb one tall tower for a wide view of the ocean.
Wildlife
Watch for horseshoe crabs, ospreys, and dolphins swimming past the point. The nature center has touch tanks where you can meet crabs and shells up close.
Scenery
The park is famous for tall Walking Dunes that slowly move with the wind. Pine trails and a long fishing pier make it a peaceful place to explore.
