On June 24, 2022 Kayaking Delmarva returned to Smith Island with Delmarva Birding Weekends to view the nesting Brown Pelicans.

Located on the edge of the town the Millsboro Pond is popular with fisherman and the small parking lot is often filled with their boats and trailers. However, this is also a nice kayaking location. We recommend you enjoy it now because in the next few years a […]
