Latest reviews on Winchester's beaches

Cape May Beach
10 Amara Redmond

This lighthouse was really enjoyable. It had 199 steps to climb, but the views from the top were fantastic. There were also trails leading to the beach and other places. In addition, they had a visitor center, a museum, and a gift shop. We could easily spend a few hours here. After completing the climb, we decided to stay and have lunch. Moreover, they had a large grassy area where we could play catch with our son and a football.

Broadkill Beach

There are a lot of bugs that bite on the beach itself, but if you're in the water, it's not so bad. You can find plenty of shells and aquatic animals. The water is a bit murky, but that might have been because of the day we visited. Just be careful when going down to the beach as there is a significant drop-off. The dunes appear to have eroded, and it's a steep 6 to 8 feet down to the beach from the path. Despite that, it's still nice and not too crowded, although the bugs probably kept most people away. The Broadkill store is well-stocked with bug spray, food, and ice cream, and they also accept Apple Pay.

Two Mile Beach

I embarked on a 25-minute drive to reach this beach, being unfamiliar with the vicinity. After parking my vehicle, I walked halfway to the shore, only to be informed that it was the season for bird watching and access to the beach was prohibited. This news was quite disheartening.

This exquisite haven on Earth is truly remarkable. While some may argue that it is otherworldly, I must confess that I am not well-versed in beach culture. Nonetheless, this spot is a gem worth exploring.
