My Insta friend Jennifer and I headed to Pickering Beach after our successful sea glass hunt at Woodlands Beach. Sadly, Pickering wasn't bountiful in the sea glass department. While it's a tranquil beach filled with nature of all kinds (it just so happens to be a horsehoe crab sanctuary!), I didn't find any sea glass. Pickering Beach is a combination of white sand, pebbles, and rocks.

Getting to Pickering Beach
Pickering Beach is approximately 10 miles away from Dover (Delaware's state capital) and its air force base. There are many other bay beaches in this area to visit.
This is the best place to find beach glass from many time periods. I was lucky to find magnificent purple and pink almost every single walk. This place has English pottery shards and black pirate sea glass can be found far and few between. Brown, green and white are the most common. The parking is limited and the neighbors most welcoming. One kind lady wanted to take my trash from me. I thanked her but declined. Check tide charts and visit this small beach during low tide as high tide has no remaining beach and the high tide line belongs to the property owners. Nicest people especially the gent in 126 with the boat. I met another neighbor watching the cars at the public parking spots. Real nice guy and his little dog “stinky” I think his name was. Its a small nature beach, please dont litter and remember to say thank you by honking as you leave.
All are welcomed in slower lower Delaware.
