(Sussex County, Del.)-Some people say Broadkill Beach is getting broader. The beach is wider after the replenish project, but it's also attracting more people.
Jim Bailey is president of the Broadkill Beach Preservation Association. He said they welcome new visitors to their little piece of heaven, but make sure you're leaving only your footprints in the sand.
"There's nobody to clean it up but ourselves, Bailey said. There's no municipal employees picking up trash. There's no state employees picking up trash. It's the people of Broadkill Beach who clean this beach."
Nancy Nixdorf has been coming to Broadkill with her family every weekend for three years. She said when they first starting fishing here their lines were the only ones in the water.
"Before, it was great," Nixdorf said. "You could come here and you'd be the only one here fishing all day."
Tom Culleny and his wife nancy are regulars. They usually come early to beat the parking problems and the crowd. He says if it gets too crowded they'll just move on to the next quiet spot.
"It might get crowded," Culleny said. "If it does we'll just move further North. We'll go to Slaughter Beach or Bowers Beach. We'll just keep moving."
Broadkill Beach is privately owned and state maintained. The preservation association asks folks to be patient as they try to accommodate visitors with restroom facilities and parking.
