Area Attractions and Activities:

Whale and dolphin-watching tours are scheduled during the warm weather months. You can sail on a tall ship or rent a small boat to tour the harbor or Delaware Bay. Cape Henlopen State Park (4000 acres) and nearby Prime Hook Wildlife refuge (8500 acres) offer unlimited outdoor experiences.

Whether you are an avid birder or you simply want to enjoy the beauty of pristine sand dunes, quiet pine forest trails and unspoiled marshland, Lewes has it all.

Head boats routinely schedule trips out of Lewes Harbor in search of sea bass, flounder, trout, cod, mackerel, ling and other choice catches. Charter boat captains can satisfy your quest for the big game fish. Tuna, white marlin, shark and stripers are just some of the trophy fish lurking in the Atlantic waters. Most boats operate seasonally. A modern public boat ramp is open year round.
