Pinelands Nature Trail, 1.2 miles

Sand dunes, unusual flora, windswept pine woods and cranberry bogs along the trail give hikers a great way to enjoy the natural world of the Delaware shore. Trailside World War II bunkers provide a bit of history. Begin your trek on this National Recreation Trail across the road from the Seaside Nature Center.

Dune Overlook Trail, 3.1 miles

This trail begins across from the 24-hour beach access road, down Dune Road, past the campground and tower. Don't miss the three spurs along the trail. The first spur leads you to a restored World War II observation tower; the second leads you to our famous "Walking Dunes." At the tip of the third spur, you will be surrounded on three sides by a fascinating marsh.
