The two-year permits are double those costs, respectively.Off-peak permits – which allow year-round access except for Saturdays, Sundays and holidays during the summer – are $70 for residents and $140 for nonresidents” according to Delaware Online.
If you need a permit for the 2023 season make sure you a prepared with these documents before purchasing:
- Valid vehicle registration
- Contact phone number
- Preferred email address
- Valid driver’s license required for discounted/free permits, as well as Delaware taxpayers requesting the resident rates.
There will also be a new reservation system during the 36 busiest days of the summer.
Your surf-fishing pass doesn’t necessarily guarantee access to the parks on these days.
Delaware Online reports “Similar to reserving a campground at a Delaware State Park, anyone with a surf-fishing permit must now make a reservation before driving onto the beach during these peak times, including Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Fourth of July and Labor Day.”
