About This Trail
This 2.9-mile moderate bayside trail follows Tower Road through Delaware Seashore’s western shore, offering open-water views across Rehoboth Bay and grassy upland sections favored by wintering raptors. The route provides a quieter alternative to the park’s ocean-side attractions, with long sightlines across the bay and chances to spot ospreys nesting on channel markers.
