DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum

There are a whole lot of great museums in southern Delaware, including ones along the Nanticoke Heritage Byway in Seaford, Laurel and Bethel. There’s also the Zwaanendael Museum in Lewes, the Rehoboth Beach Museum in neighboring Rehoboth and several more. But our favorite is this unique museum in Fenwick Island that features all sorts of treasures from various shipwrecks. There’s even a Titanic exhibit if you’d like a glimpse into the most famous shipwreck in history. Visit the museum online at discoversea.com and be sure to check the operating hours before making a trip to Fenwick Island.
