Cape Henlopen State Park - 4" x 4" Coaster

Fort Miles Cape Henlopen State Park, Delaware At the meeting point of the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Henlopen State Park is home to Fort Miles — a historic World War II coastal defense site built to guard the Delaware River and surrounding waters. Once part of a network of towers and gun batteries scanning the horizon for enemy ships, these structures now stand quietly along the shoreline, preserving a powerful chapter of American history. This design centers on an observation tower rising from the beach, framed by windswept dune grasses in the foreground. It captures the stark contrast between the tower’s wartime purpose and the peaceful coastal landscape that surrounds it today, celebrating a place where history stands watch over the natural beauty of Delaware’s shore.
