About this beach

A remote, quiet Delaware Bay beach fronted by extensive salt marsh. Peaceful most of the year, but true greenhead country through the heat of July.

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