Parts of The Point Reopen Today
September 1, 2022/
The Point at Cape Henlopen State Park – including a stretch of ocean beach and dunes and a half-mile along the bay shoreline today. The Point has been closed annually each March for the benefit of threatened and endangered beach-nesters and migratory shorebirds.
The bayside beach at the Point remains closed until October 1st for use by shorebirds migrating south for the winter.
The DNREC Divisions of Parks and Recreation, Fish and Wildlife, and Watershed Stewardship have worked together since 1990 to implement a management plan to halt the decline of beach-nester and migratory shorebird populations.
