Wonderful place to enjoy the DE River. Broadkill Beach is between a Horseshoe Crab Preserve and the Prime Hook Reserve. Great place for birding, walking along the beach, and just enjoying life. LOVE!! Better to stay for a week in a rental than to come for the day (no parking).
Great little beach. Found a washed up shark that the kids loved. Tons of wildlife including osprey, bald eagle, seagulls, sand fleas, and horse shoe crabs. We had a blast as there were no crowds on a Monday morning, it was nicely overcast half of the time which helped us cool off easier, and everyone was very nice. Would recommend!
Nice for collecting shells and stones, waters were more calm and there was a few horse flies. Not very crowded but parking is tricky. Spotted jellyfish my first day there in water up to my hips. Sister got stung all over her leg in water the second day. There are no signs warning people of the dangerous aquatic life. I would hate to see someone else get hurt!!
Many people don’t know this but when you drive down to the beach you take a right and go pass all the houses you will find the big parking lot. it’s very nice beach and you can swim. there’s some horse flies but they didn’t bother us too much. just bring bug spray.
Lots of biting bugs on the beach itself. If you are in the water it is not bad. Plenty of shells and aquatic animals. The water is murky but may have been from the day we went. Careful when going down to the beach because it is a big drop off. The dunes seem to have been eroded away and it is a steep 6 to 8 feet down to the beach area from the path. It is nice and not overcrowded but the bugs were probably what kept most people away. Broadkill store had plenty of bug spray, food, and ice cream. They also accepted Apple Pay.
Nice beach, especially if you want somewhere not very crowded. Parking is a bit difficult but you can find a place somewhere along the street. Great sand and almost no waves since it's bayside. Nice rocks and shells for beachcombers. Tons of horseshoe crabs which are kind of fun to watch. Main downside is the sand fleas and flies, but if you bring bug spray it helps a lot.
