About Lewes

A deeply historic and charming maritime town situated entirely inside the Delaware Bay, Lewes covers Lewes Beach, Roosevelt Inlet, the Cape May ferry terminal, and Breakwater Harbor. Because it is protected from ocean swells, the area is highly favored for wave-free swimming for young families, playing beach volleyball, watching ferry traffic, and walking the expansive sand flats. The tidal swings here completely transform the beach; a low tide pulls the bay waters back hundreds of yards, exposing massive, calm sand flats that are perfect for toddlers to splash safely and for families to hunt for hermit crabs in shallow tidal pools.
