When it comes to planning a beach day, Delawareans tend to wait until Fall to get out on the sand. The crowds in Rehoboth, Lewes, and Dewey are hard enough to deal with during the hot summer months, and we tend to wait for the more relaxed Local Summer, after labor day. If you really miss the ocean and can’t wait for your dose of Vitamin Sea, head to one of the only remote, quiet beaches along the Delaware Coast – the Fenwick Island State Park beach.

Fenwick Island State Park is a remote Delaware park that’s home to one of the most underrated beaches in the state.

Fenwick Island State Park is known for having beautiful blue water. Because it is off the beaten path, you’re likely to miss the crowds that swarm the beaches up north.

By the time you drag yourself away from the pristine sands and cool surf, you’ll be just in time to head over to the bayside of Fenwick and catch a beautiful sunset.
