I found a short cut to get from Seagrass Plantation to The Greens Golf Course to Ellis Point to Holts Landing State Park without going on any narrow roads with high traffic. These pictures are from Holts Landing Park which is on the Delaware Indian River Bay. https://www.destateparks.com/park/holts-landing/

Here are some pictures I took last night from the Seagrass Plantation Beach. You can see the outline of dolphins in the last two photos. They were taken from a cellphone so the images are small.

Dolphins are commonly seen in Delaware’s Inland Bays, including the Indian River Bay.

The Indian River Bay is surprisingly shallow—its average depth is only about 4.5 feet—but bottlenose dolphins regularly enter and travel through the bay. The Delaware Center for the Inland Bays specifically notes that dolphins are a common sight in the Indian River Bay, even though the bays are shallow.  

Bottlenose dolphins are highly adaptable and are known to live in and travel through coastal bays, estuaries, harbors, and other shallow waters.
