About Delaware Seashore - South Inlet Big Chill Beach Club

Delaware Seashore - South Inlet Big Chill Beach Club is a popular spot for a day trip. Visitors can enjoy the wide and spacious beach, though it can get crowded, especially during busy days. The ocean can be a bit rough, making it less suitable for boogie boarding, but perfect for those who enjoy swimming in strong waves. The beach has ample parking, bathrooms, and showers, although they may get busy during peak hours. The beach grill offers delicious food and drinks, with beautiful views of the surroundings.

The restaurant is located at Delaware Seashore State Park, with an elevated structure that provides commanding views of the ocean, inlet, and bridge. There are multiple seating options, including the bar area, tables outside on the deck, and an open-air covered dining area that offers some protection from rain if needed. On the ground level, visitors will find bathrooms, a fire pit area, and a space to play cornhole.

Guests can sit at high tops in the round bar area upstairs, with a view of the bridge. The service is friendly and prompt. Seating throughout is well spaced, and the chairs are somewhat comfortable. The music is not so loud as to prevent conversation. Popular drinks include the Painkilla and Grapefruit Smash, while an appetizer of crab dip with tortilla chips is highly recommended. Everything is said to taste good, making it a relaxing spot to enjoy an end-of-day beverage.

Overall, Delaware Seashore - South Inlet Big Chill Beach Club offers a great place to eat or have a couple of drinks right at the beach. The food is delicious and the views are stunning. Visitors can relax at the bar while watching the ocean, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a day at the beach. Entrance to the park requires a fee, but if visitors plan to enjoy the beach, it’s considered worth it. Parking is shared with other activities like fishing, and the park closes early, around 9 PM, but the experience remains worthwhile.

The atmosphere and customer service were perfection. We highly recommend you visit this beautiful spot where the ocean and the bay meet on the East Coast at the DE State Park. Whether you’re staying in Ocean City, MD or in Delaware at Fenwick, Dewey, Bethany, or Rehoboth, it’s a must see. We hope you enjoy! 🌊💙

I think it’s absolutely INSANE to charge $10 at the concession stand for a McDonald’s cheeseburger. Smashed bread, cheese, and a burger. $5 for an iced coffee that tastes like they dropped ice in a hot pot. I love the atmosphere and being on the beach here, but the food is sub par, especially for the price.

I want to start this review by saying our server Anna was AMAZING but let me go backward, now. We called before we headed toward Big Chill and let them know we had a party of 9 we were told if we got there in the next 15 minutes there would be no wait. We got there in that time and was told a 20-25 minute wait. No big deal. We have never been here before so no idea where to go next. The hostess was not helpful with this. So we went up by the bar and sat at some empty bar height...read full review
