Cape Henlopen’s beaches attract thousands of visitors who enjoy ocean swimming and sunbathing.  Two designated swimming beaches provide lifeguard patrols between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day.Umbrellas can be rented during the summer.  The northern swimming area also features a modern bath house with showers, changing rooms, and a food concession.  The park offers many opportunities for fishing, camping, hiking, walking, picnicing and history tours. The Seaside Nature Center offers environmental education programs and recreational activities year-round, and is a good place to stop for park information.  Marine aquariums and displays there let visitors meet ocean creatures face to face.  An auditorium for audio-visual programs and gift shop complete the attractions at this popular facility.
