‪We visited this beach multiple times throughout the summer of 2021. We had some great visits. Lifeguards are on duty Memorial Day through Labor Day. On a low tide day, we played on the little islands that formed. Here we found lots of sea creatures: clams, conchs, hermit crabs, calico crabs, etc. It was a beautiful day with no waves. On a high tide day, we had no islands, but the water was deeper so the kids could play in the slightly deeper water and build sand castles on the beach. On each trip, we collected sea shells along the shoreline. You will find lots of little shells (clam, scallops, lady slippers, etc). Sand is soft. You also get a great view of the ferry cruising in and out of port from this beach. Overall, we enjoyed our visits with Lewes Beach. This is a bay beach, so it has little to no waves. Even on the day when a major storm was brewing, the waves were minimal. It is safe for families with small children. There are 2 parking lots for this beach. BOTH are metered. Pay rate is about $2 per hour, which can be done using the ParkMobile app or by using a credit card at the central meter. There is one bath house and 2 sets of restrooms. There are sprinklers to rinse off in outside by the flush toilet buildings. There is a Lions Club Snack shack at the edge of the parking lot in addition to a DQ within walking distance should you get hungry or thirsty! I would recommend IF you want a beach for laying out or with little to NO waves. IF you want to boogie board...this is NOT the beach for you.‬

‪Received a $30 parking ticket because I was parked facing the wrong direction when there was no signage!! Not even a warning -- ricidulous!!! Its bad enough you have to pay to park to be able to spend money in their stores, but you have to park in the right direction!! A warning would have been nice. OVERPRICED AND NOT WORTH IT.‬
