@stryda03 For reservations, surf fishing permit reservations are needed but for beach visits you do not need a reservation. Keep in mind for the holiday the beaches fill up quickly and we do close them when full. Information on surf fishing permit reservations at destateparks.com/Fishing/SurfFi…

@DEStateParks what’s the reservation process for July 4 holiday? Do we need beach reservations? If yes, when do those open up?
