About this beach

A calm bayfront beach tucked behind Cape Henlopen on the Delaware Bay side. The water's gentle, but the bay marshes sit close, so greenheads find it on a southwest wind.

Worst here around Sep, driven by black flies. Greenheads (horse flies) run heaviest in July; black flies build later, into September.
