CAPE HENLOPEN STATE PARK, Del. - Cape Henlopen State Park says all of its drive-on surf crossings are open for Labor Day weekend. This comes after Hurricane Erin brought rough surf and dangerous rip currents, closing many beaches up and down Delmarva’s coast.
Gordon’s Pond, Herring Point, and Point Crossing had previously been reopened to the public following the storm's dissipation. Now, those beaches are joined by Navy Beach, reopened just in time as the coast prepares for Labor Day weekend.
Cape Henlopen State Park now says reservations are now open for Navy Crossing.
Despite those Cape Henlopen State Park beach closures caused by what DRNEC said were unsafe conditions, some people were still seen entering the water on Aug. 22.
