THE RIVER IS RIGHT HERE
From morning coffee
to first cast.
The sandy beach is directly outside the house, so time by the river can be part of the day rather than another drive. Bring your tackle, watch the tide and conditions, and share the shoreline thoughtfully with swimmers and neighbors.
Back at the house, there is a full kitchen, four bedrooms, laundry, and a waterfront deck and gazebo. Make a weekend of it with your group, with room for up to 12 overnight guests.
We fished right from shore, walked the shoreline and went swimming and kayaking.
STRIPER SEASON
Two migrations.
Plenty to look forward to.
The river’s seasonal return.
Mature striped bass move into fresh and brackish water to spawn, making the Delaware River part of the spring migration story.
Another reason to head back.
Fall migration gives anglers another seasonal window to plan a river-and-shore getaway. Local conditions help determine the timing.
Use the migration seasons to plan your trip, then check the legal season and requirements for your exact fishing location. The Delaware River has area-specific rules; a rule for an upstream section may not apply at Oakwood Beach.
Check the current season before you cast.
Start with New Jersey’s rules for fishing from the New Jersey shoreline. For boat outings or fishing in Delaware waters, check Delaware’s guidance as well.

A few good questions.
Can I fish from the beach at the house?
Guests have described fishing right from shore, and the sandy Delaware River beach is directly outside Sunset Sands. Bring your own equipment and choose your fishing spot around tides, conditions, other beach users, and current local rules.
When should I plan a striper trip?
Spring and fall migrations are the seasonal draws to plan around. The Delaware River is an important spring spawning river for striped bass. Timing and catches depend on conditions; check the current rules for the exact stretch you plan to fish.
