*The small lapping waves are easy for young ones to negotiate and wade while enjoying the water.
*This is a natural beach and there can be bugs, mosquitoes, horseflies, etc, and may be worse depending on how the wind is blowing. We do reccomend bringing bug spray.
*The Cedar Creek Marina, with access to the Mispillion River leading to the Delaware Bay, is just minutes away and can be contacted for fishing trips. There is also a FREE newly renovated public launch across the river on Lighthouse Road which is run by the Department of Parks and Recreation.
*Milford is six miles inland on a relaxing country road with every store you could need to outfit your vacation. There you can find local cafe/ice cream shops, liquor stores, antique shops, art galleries, specialty shops, drug stores, department stores, and many restaurants Walmart Super Center is open 24 hours a day .. Milford is a year-round community.
*Easy biking distance (2.8 miles) is the DuPont Nature Center, an ecotourism destination, with tours and hands-on activities for children and adults.
*There are numerous public access parking areas all along the two miles of the main road, Bay Avenue, (ANY of the named roads has public beaches). The beach next to the Fire Dept. has restrooms and a new shaded picnic gazebo. There is a children's playground along with tennis and basketball courts next just across from the main beach. Next door is the Fire House which occasionally has events.
*Biking and rollerblading is a favorite activity on Bay Avenue since there are no cross streets, so it is relatively safe. Please feel free to bring your own bikes. Keep in mind, Delaware requires children to wear helmets.
*Slaughter Beach is a world-famous birding habitat and horseshoe crab sanctuary. You can marvel at the hundreds of bird species including the endangered Red Knot as they stop to feed on horseshoe crab eggs on their way north. Most people thrill at the spectacle while others are a little horrified by the crab's primitive looks. They are completely harmless but can cause the water's edge to be littered with their shells.
*Watch for the just-hatched baby turtles headed to the Marvel Preserve just behind us in early summer. Slaughter Beach is surrounded by wildlife preserves on all three non-water sides. Eagles and Ospreys can be seen nesting at the south end.
***Please note: Slaughter Beach is perfect for nature lovers and anyone that is looking for beauty and a place for peace and quiet. This is a residential beach town and can feel rustic, remote, and deserted for some folks. Others will love being away from the hustle and bustle of the busier beach towns. ***
