I have been here many of times (mostly as a kid), and even remembered when the pier was actually T-shaped (and one half, facing Cape Henlopen, was closed due to fire damage. Hopefully with time and funding, the pier would be extended back out to it's former glory.

Large fishing pier but pretty crowded. Note you will need a Delaware fishing license to fish here and they do check for licenses.

Questions & Answers

How far from the car parking to the pier and what is the fee to fish on the Pier

Chee Phan | Oct 29, 2019
Denise Fish | Oct 29, 2019

The walk from the parking lot is not far at all. The pier, itself, is about 1/4 mile long. I dont believe it costs anything to fish on the pier, just the fee to get into the park.

Can you ride a bike out to the end of thr pier?

Logan Gray | Oct 29, 2018
David Pcholinski | Oct 29, 2018

The sign right by the bait shop says NO Bicycles, and if you do everyone on the pier will let you know about it.

how high is the pier above the water

Robert Moreland | Oct 29, 2019
Randy And Amanda Gooner | Oct 29, 2019

Depends on the tide forsure. You definitely need to have a long handled net or gaff. I would think its about a 10ft average maybe touch more.

Can I dock my dinghy here, or anywhere nearby?

Ron Bixel | Oct 28, 2021
Viking Treasure | Oct 28, 2021

Sand, Beach it, no dock, low tide will leave you dragging it back to the water. At least 200' or more to the south of the fishing pier will keep you off the worst of the bar.

Do they allow medium dogs?

Brenda Lumpkin | Oct 28, 2021
Wonder Ball | Oct 28, 2021

No pets are allowed on the pier. There is a sign right before you pass the gate that states it as such.
