MILTON, Del. — The Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge has announced that sections of Fowler Beach will be closed starting March 1 for the 2025 shorebird nesting and migration season. The closure aims to protect federally and state-protected beach-nesting and migratory shorebirds, including species like the red knot, piping plover, oystercatcher, and least tern.

The affected areas include the bar beach, dunes, and back-barrier zones of Fowler Beach. The refuge advises all visitors to follow posted signs and barriers throughout the season. Dog walking is prohibited in these areas, and the refuge reminds the public that closures may change or be modified as necessary.

The beach will re-open for full visitor access on October 1, after the nesting and migration seasons conclude. Prime Hook officials urge the public’s cooperation to ensure the safety and well-being of these important bird species during this critical period.
