Welcome to "Capturing Cape Henlopen"

A Digital Photography Contest Presented by the Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park & The Coastal Camera Club

Cape Henlopen State Park is where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean—a breathtaking landscape of sweeping beaches, dramatic dunes, and historic lighthouses. Spanning more than 5,000 acres, the park boasts diverse habitats, vibrant wildlife, and miles of scenic trails. Every trail, shoreline, and sunset offers a moment worth capturing.

To celebrate the beauty of this cherished natural space and encourage creative expression, the Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park (FOCHSP), in partnership with the Coastal Camera Club, Nations Photo Lab, and Cape Henlopen State Park, are proud to launch Capturing Cape Henlopen—a digital photography contest showcasing the park through your lens.

This all-digital competition invites FOCHSP members, local residents, and visitors alike to submit photographs that reflect the park’s unique charm—from sweeping vistas and coastal landscapes to its flora, fauna, and hidden corners. The contest is open to all skill levels and aims to highlight the wonder of Cape Henlopen through the eyes of those who love it most.
