Cape Henlopen State Park — The Point
Delaware
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.

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.
