Beautiful State Park on the beach where dogs are allowed! The beach is clean and the Park Ranger was such a pleasant and welcoming guy. He was happy to tell us the Park has a portion that is Dog-Friendly.The restrooms were clean and super well kept

Probably not, but there may be a work around. You can drive on the beach if you have four wheel drive, a DE fishing license and pole holders with the rods sticking out...

When I go to Fenwick Island beach I do not have to pay. I understand there is a section for the state park. I do not know if there is a parking fee there or an admission fee but I just park on the streets in Fenwick Island and I walk onto the beach. It is my understanding DE beaches r free.

My father raves about being able to walk relatively far into the ocean without the bother of any waves at Wildwood Beach in NJ. (In between sandbar and shoreline.) Does Fenwick have peaceful water areas like this at any lifeguarded-beaches?

Saelath | Feb 9, 2021
Bonnie Wesselhoff | Feb 10, 2021

We've gone every summer for the last 24 years. Nice wide beaches. There are some sandbars that seen to move a bit each year. Life guards can point you to shallowest areas. Of course watch the weather reports. Off coast storms make some rough waves. And you want to check the tide times, that can make a big difference too. Have a great time!

I'm kinda confused about the hours listed. I like to go early to the beach 6 am, is that not available here?

Alicia Reese | Feb 9, 2021
Chalmers Browne | Feb 10, 2021

I believe the hours listed are the hours when lifeguards are present. Outside of those hours, the beach is open, patrolled occasionally by FIBP, but they won't bother you unless you are doing something clearly illegal (fireworks, un-permitted bonfire, kegger, etc.) And of course, solo ocean swimming when no lifeguards are present is never a good idea.
