Flag Day!! Indian River Life-Saving Station, Programs, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware
Don’t just drive past it; stop and discover it!! This life saving station is a historic site. It was built in 1876. It is the only station in Delaware that still stands in its original location.
There are so many programs on-going at the Life-Saving Station, including private events that are held in the property.
Inside the Station a U.S. Flag flew with 38 stars. It was the official flag of the U.S. from 1877 until 1890.
If you are visiting the beaches this week-end, you might want to attend either of these programs on Saturday, 6/15:
10 a.m. – Beachcombing, until 11:30 a.m. Stroll along the park’s famous undeveloped beach, looking for signs of marine life. Met at the Indian River Life Saving Station. $3 per person. A park naturalist will display beachcombing items from the park’s collection before heading out to find your own.
1 p.m. – Edible Plants, until 2:30 p.m. Learn about the many culinary uses of plants at the beach. It is an indoor program that will introduce you to some of the marine plants of Coastal Delaware, like the beach plum, the prickly pear, and the sea lettuce. Leave with some cooking tips, but not before trying some samples. $6 per person.

Have a great week-end!!
