North Shores Dunes (Gordons Pond)

The dunes and wooded trails at the north end of Rehoboth Beach, around North Shores and the Gordons Pond section of Cape Henlopen State Park, have a long-standing reputation for daytime gay cruising. The activity is said to happen on paths set back from the main beach. This listing is based on reputation and is unverified; how busy it is varies by season and year. This is Delaware state parkland patrolled by rangers. Sex in public is illegal and can lead to arrest, and park entry fees apply in season. Respect other beachgoers and the protected dunes. For socialising, the town's gay bars and Poodle Beach at the end of Queen Street are the usual places.
