Broadkill is a sandy beach that's becoming more popular every year, but it's still much quieter than the Atlantic Ocean beach towns farther down the coast.

Don't let the name scare you off - Slaughter Beach is far from a horror movie site. While you may be the only person around, you'll be sharing the beach with hundreds of horseshoe crabs that call these shores home. Make a day out of watching these comical creatures, and helping them get back into the water if they get stranded.

Prime Hook Beach is a hidden beach you can only access through Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Plan to visit for a sandy stroll along the shores.

Did you know that Woodland Beach was once a resort town, with an enormous amusement park? After a series of storms and one gigantic tidal wave, this quiet beach was all but abandoned. Now, it's a popular destination for people who love to fish off the pier.

Bowers Beach is one of the most charming bayside communities in Delaware. Visit the Bowers Beach Maritime Museum or stop in for fresh oysters from JP's Wharf.

Big Stone Beach is one of the most remote beaches in the state. Walk along the Bay and enjoy your peaceful and quiet surroundings.

Not many people even know that Fenwick Island State Park exists! This quiet park beach is home to some of the cleanest sand and most pristine waters in Delaware, and unlike the other beaches on the list, it's right on the Atlantic Ocean.
