Our property backs up to Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, over 10,000 acres of protected land that is home to foxes, deer, rabbits and more than 200 species of migratory birds--all of which can be viewed while drinking your coffee. We created this home as a sanctuary of peace, welcoming all those who wish to create, explore and connect with themselves and each other.
Prime Hook Beach is a sleepy town--there are no stores or restaurants--meant for shore fishing, crabbing, trail walking, water sports and riding bikes. It is a private bay beach for homeowners and their guests (this includes renters), which is what makes it so quiet. The beach is maintained by residents, so it is a natural, uncombed shoreline. Every day is different, but be prepared to find spawning horseshoe crabs, seaweed, welks and driftwood. Watch the sun rise over the bay, go for a moonlit walk and make a bonfire on the beach to roast marshmallows. Visit the refuge's welcome center and explore their many trails--bring your own binoculars and canoe to launch. If staying put is more your speed, enjoy our kayak and paddle board in the Delaware Bay across the street or surf fish. Bring your own fishing/crabbing gear or visit Ted's tackle and bait shop only 10 minutes away. Catch your own crabs at the bridge into town--Old Bay and a crab pot await you in the kitchen!
Those interesting in larger, ocean waves and bike & kayak trails can head south to Cape Henlopen State Park. We are less than 10 minutes off the coastal highway connecting to many restaurants, golf courses, movies, go-kart race tracks, antiquing, waterparks, Tanger Outlets, Dogfishhead Brewery, the Cape May-Lewes Ferry and Delaware's Atlantic beaches such as Rehoboth where you'll find the boardwalk with rides.
