South Bowers: Learning About Horseshoe Crabs and Phragmites
South Bowers, looking south from near the mouth of the Murderkill River Right across the Murderkill River from Bowers Beach is South Bowers. But, unless you have a boat to cross the river, it’s a world away—specifically, a 14-mile drive. It’s also a world away in the sense that it’s much smaller and quieter than Bowers Beach. It’s just a strip of houses along the bay and the river. There are no shops or services here, and there’s no real parking for visitors. I hopped out of our car at the northern end of South Bowers to catch this view of Bowers Beach across the Murderkill River.

Looking north from the beach here, you can see Bowers Beach and also Kitts Hummock way off on the far right. View of South Bower
