Bombay Hook and Delaware Bay

Delaware destination centered on bays, gardens, capital and marsh, useful to cover small State with several faces.

Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Delaware Bay and Port Mahon provide the most telling landmarks of Bombay Hook and Delaware Bay. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, natural spaces and riverscapes meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.

Bombay Hook The observation points and the road loop provide a gradual immersion, without excessive noise. The rhythm of the water and wind beats is seen there.

Delaware Bay

4.4 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

Delaware Bay shows a great extent of transition between fresh water and ocean, punctuated with marshes and low beaches. At times, bird migrations and silts become the star of the landscape. The bay edge offers a moving geography, wider than its maps.

Place indismissible

Port Mahon

4.4 / 5· Hidengo1 hr 30 min to half a day

Port Mahon remains a quiet water trait at the end of a marsh road. The wrecks, the lost old lighthouse and the slow coastal rhythm give an isolated atmosphere. It is a border place, more internalized than spectacular, with a very special light.
