The Atlas/Delaware/Cape Henlopen State Park — The Point

Cape Henlopen State Park — The Point

The tip of the sandy peninsula where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. Riders enter via Lewes on Cape Henlopen Drive and park near the beach access; the overlook delivers panoramic water views and, in winter, access to the hiking spit itself. WWII fire-control towers are also visible on the way in.

// Why riders stop

Unique east-coast spot where the sun sets directly over open water even on the bay side — photo-worthy and calm, with easy ride access from Route 1.

Delaware Bayshore Byway (DE-9)
Delaware
A roughly 50-mile National Scenic Byway following DE-9 from the New Castle and Delaware City area south to Dover and Bowers Beach, threading tidal marshland and passing Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. It is flat bayshore cruising — Delaware has no mountain or canyon roads — best enjoyed for the birdlife and emptiness rather than corners.

Dogfish Head Milton Brewery
Delaware
The flagship production brewery and tasting room of the famed craft-beer pioneer, housed in a converted cannery on the Broadkill River. Riders arrive via DE-9 or US-113 to sample 27 rotating taps, walk through the Steampunk Treehouse, and take guided tours. A natural anchor on any southern-Delaware run.
