York Beach

York Beach is an E-facing beach break in South Bethany, Delaware, United States. It picks up swell from NE to S, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 42% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the W: light winds or W breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while E onshores chop it up.
