Oh my where do I even begin? The crisp ocean water from the bay is enough to bring you to tears. Don’t even get me started on the glorious bait shop, which is enough to suffice any fisherman until hi… Full review by Bust E

Peaceful beach. Water was super warm and clean. No waves, but was nice to just relax in the water and not fight currents. Sand was well maintained. Great place for kids to play and swim Full review by rickyj908

People seem to fish off the jetty at the mouth of the Murderkill River more than anywhere else. I leisurely fished off the beach at South Bowers just about daily for a week while hanging out with family, and caught 3 smaller fish. One was a spot, the others were a sea trout, and a small catfish. The latter two were caught in the Murderkill River channel. I also had 2 crabs hang onto my sand worms. I was not impressed, and did not see many people catching much of anything. Maybe boats go out further and do better on flounder, supposedly the area is known for it. I am not planning on going back to fish there.
Looking to retire at Bowers Beach. Places to sit and have a drink or lunch, dinner, coffee shop. Looks sweet, but what kind of social life is there? Can you swim there? there have been mixed answers on this question.

Bowers Beach is a great place to retire (quiet / quaint / clean / lovely views). We did and I know many others who have done so. Certainly, you can swim at Bowers Beach. It is a bay beach, of course, so wear boat shoes. There are those who think that a Delaware bay beach is really nice and I agree. Here are six reasons why. 1. NO BEACH TAGS Our beaches are free. In New Jersey, you must pay—even property owners. Proof that you did so: a small plastic badge to pin on your togs. Then you walk to the boardwalk for a slice of pizza, only to realize you left the tag pinned to your chair. Whoops. 2. OPEN SWIMMING Some Jersey towns make everyone swim in front of the lifeguard stands, which means they tumble together when a big one rolls in. Ouch. Swim wherever you want in Delaware—just stay away from jetties and rip currents. (Yes, the liefguard is whistling at you.) 3. VENDOR-FREE BEACHES Which means you won’t be woken out of a sound sleep by the Fudgie-Wudgie Man yelling “Get your ice cream” at top volume. And just when you doze off again, he makes another round. Here you can nap in peace. 4. PARKMOBILE No need to walk to a metering station half a block away after cruising the streets for 45 minutes to find a parking space. Thanks to the app, you can now reserve a space in towns like Bethany Beach and Rehoboth Beach on the most crowded of days. And if you need to extend your time, you can do so from your hard-won place on the beach just by touching the screen. No need to walk back to the meter—and leave that blasted beach tag pinned to your tote. At Bowers Beach, parking is free all year and you can bring your furry friend(s) on a leash anytime. A waste can is at the public entrance to the beach. 5. SUPERIOR SAND Few issues divide beach goers so thoroughly. Which feels better: fine sand or coarse grained? That fine Jersey sand can be dusty and dirty, feel like a bed of concrete under your towel, and resist every attempt to remove from your skin. Delaware sand conforms to your body like a warm blanket, and it brushes off dry skin and other surfaces with the lightest of touches. Give us Delaware sand any day! 6. WIDE OPEN SPACES You won’t find much solitude in Jersey or Maryland without making a serious effort. Here, every guarded beach yields to an unguarded state or private beach with considerably fewer people. Serenity at last …
No public showers. On the other hand the beach is very quiet, not overcrowded, no cigarette butts in the sand, and the homes along the beach are well kept.
