Herring Point Beach is a lifeguard patrolled beach (between Memorial and Labor day) located within the historic Cape Henlopen State Park, initially opened to the public in 1682. Many amenities can be found at this beach, including shower facilities, changing rooms, and food concession. Handicap access from the boardwalk to the waterfront is also available.

As with all Delaware State parks, there is a $5 entry fee for Delaware license plates, and a $10 fee for out of state vehicles during the high season from March 1st to November 30th.
