ARTS, CULTURE, HISTORY & NATURE

Lewes has something for everyone!

---

Ecotourism is fast becoming popular among active adults and families alike. If the ocean, bay and natural beaches are your passion, Lewes is the place to begin. Whale and dolphin-watching tours are scheduled during the warm weather months. You can sail on a tall ship or rent a small boat to tour the harbor or Delaware Bay. Cape Henlopen State Park (5000 acres) and nearby Prime Hook Wildlife refuge (8500 acres) offer unlimited outdoor experiences. Whether you are an avid birder or you simply want to enjoy the beauty of pristine sand dunes, quiet pine forest trails and unspoiled marshland, Lewes has it all.
