This time I rented two double kayaks for 1 hour at $30 each or $60 total. I also rented one single kayak for one hour or $20. Our total cost was $80 for two doubles and one single kayak in total. This time we traveled south in the bay since the current was moving North. That made it easier for us to kayak back to the kayak base. We returned within one hour. I also purchased a Coastal Kayak hoodie for $40. We agreed we will return here again.

I showed up on the day of my arrival and rented a 10" board with no problems. FYI - the 10" board fit in my compact-size SUV with the headrests removed, front seat down and fin removed. The rental included a paddle and the board also had a leash. I had my own Coast Guard approved lifejacket. I also booked the Burton Island's wildlife guided tour which was a 2-hour tour thru the salt marsh around Burton's Island. Bob (our guide) gave a quick "kayaking 101" before we started and off we went. We had 8 total in our group which was a perfect size for the tour. On the tour we observed ospreys, lots of different types of sea gulls, cormorants who use the bay as a runway before taking off into the blue sky, horseshoe crabs, teeny-tiny fiddler crabs no bigger than a quarter, and little turtles popping up to see what was going on as we were paddling thru the marsh. Bob is a great tour guide with lots of info about the area and wildlife. The meeting point for the tour is the Burton Island's trail head located on the north end of the Indian River Marina inside the Delaware Seashore State Park. For me, it was a short15 minute drive from where I was staying in Fenwick Island. Price wise - the tour and SUP rental were quite reasonable. I will definitely rent from Coastal Kayak the next time I'm in Fenwick Island.

Be careful where you park, the roads are narrow, and you could block the ways in or out, and be careful of incoming cars, or outgoing cars, because u don;t see or hear them coming or going, and many people made this mistake. Sometimes, it's totally dead, and no one around, then suddenly lots of people show up. I was there for over an hour, in this cycled through like this a lot! i do hope I can return some day!

It's a reminder of the important role this area played during World War II, and I appreciated being able to learn more about the history while exploring the area.

A great educational stop that adds more depth to your Cape May experience. Would I come back? Absolutely.

To purchase alcohol, you needed to present your id and get a wristband which I thought was a good idea. However, I had to stand in a long line to purchase drink tickets even though I wasn't really sure what I was going to drink. I didn't find this to be a good system, and others around me in line seemed to agree. Additionally, there were several food trucks featuring BBQ, burgers, and hotdogs as well as sweets. Places to sit were limited, so it may be helpful to bring chairs or a blanket. There was also a variety of merchandise vendors along with two different live bands, neither of which appealed to me but seemed popular. Parking is limited, so we had to park about 4-5 blocks away.

This marker is right on the border of Maryland and Delaware and points out the line that divided…read moreMaryland and what was then Pennsylvania but is now Delaware. There really isn't a good spot to stop to read the marker. It reads, "Eastern End of Transpeninsular Line Between Maryland and Three Lower Counties of Pennsylvania (Now Delaware) (Fenwick Island). First run 1751, agreed upon 1760 and Finally ratified 1769 by King George, III, this ending almost a century of controversy between the proprietors of the two provinces." The line is at approximately 38 degrees 27 minutes north and solved the disagreement between the Penns of Delaware and the Calverts of Maryland. There were a few different maps back in the day and these caused some troubles as to who paid taxes in what amounts to whom. A big mess which was cleared by by the line drawn by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon (of Mason-Dixon line fame). [Review 18157 overall - 670 in Maryland - 1679 of 2022.]
