Delaware is one of the country’s most underrated states. While most of the country thinks that we’re a drive-through state, those of us who live here know that there’s so much more to the First State. One thing we can really brag about is our state park system – it’s one of the best on the East Coast! Delaware Seashore State Park has worked to preserve Delaware’s longest beach since 1965, and your summer isn’t complete until you’ve visited.
Of all of our state parks, there’s no place quite like Delaware Seashore!
