The beach next to the Fire Dept. has restrooms and a new shaded picnic gazebo. There is a children's playground along with tennis and basketball courts next just across from the main beach. Next door is the Fire House which occasionally has events.
*Biking and rollerblading is a favorite activity on Bay Avenue since there are no cross streets, so it is relatively safe. Please feel free to bring your own bikes. Keep in mind, Delaware requires children to wear helmets.
*Slaughter Beach is a world-famous birding habitat and horseshoe crab sanctuary. You can marvel at the hundreds of bird species including the endangered Red Knot as they stop to feed on horseshoe crab eggs on their way north. Most people thrill at the spectacle while others are a little horrified by the crab's primitive looks. They are completely harmless but can cause the water's edge to be littered with their shells.
*Watch for the just-hatched baby turtles headed to the Marvel Preserve just behind us in early summer. Slaughter Beach is surrounded by wildlife preserves on all three non-water sides. Eagles and Ospreys can be seen nesting at the south end.
***Please note: Slaughter Beach is perfect for nature lovers and anyone that is looking for beauty and a place for peace and quiet. This is a residential beach town and can feel rustic, remote, and deserted for some folks. Others will love being away from the hustle and bustle of the busier beach towns. ***
