North Shores (Gordon Pond State Park)

This is a state park with a daily entrance fee. Weekends are PACKED especially on all major holiday weekends. South of the jetty you'll find mostly lesbians and straight couples with kids, north of the jetty is "Bear Beach" and also many men who aren't into the beautiful people "A List" scene at Poodle Beach. Very clean, laid back, porta potties and cold running water, a pavilion, ample paved parking, a pack in and pack out beach meaning no dumpsters, take your trash with you. A very nice wide, sandy white beach with dunes, surfers and surf fishing. No vehicles allowed on the beach, but there is an access road for 4 wheeling with a state permit (buy at ranger station in Lewes). This a 5 star rated Mid-Atlantic beach. Gorgeous! Go during the week for a more quiet and less crowded experience. Shoulder season Sept. & Oct. offer great surfing and fishing!
