Bowers Beach

Bay Access Point

Bowers Beach, nestled along the Delaware Bay near Frederica, is a quiet coastal town that offers a nostalgic glimpse into maritime life. Known for its working waterfront, the town still sees daily fishing boats heading out for crabs, oysters, and fresh catch that often ends up on plates at JP’s Wharf, a beloved local restaurant. The beach itself is modest but peaceful, perfect for strolling, birdwatching, or casting a line from the jetty. Historic homes and a charming maritime museum add depth to the town’s character, while annual events like the Buccaneer Bash—a pirate-themed festival—bring the community together in celebration. It’s a place where time slows down and the rhythm of the tides sets the pace.
