Visiting & Lodging

A quiet Delaware River getaway centered on sunsets, birding, marsh landscapes, fishing and colonial history rather than conventional tourist development.

Stay on the Delaware River

Salem River Inn
91 Country Club Road · Salem, NJ 08079 · 609-420-8190

Riverfront bed-and-breakfast and event venue in Elsinboro with two B&B rooms and a Tower Suite. The property sits between the Delaware River and preserved wildlife habitat, with river views, sunsets and seasonal fishing access.

Private vacation rentals: Oakwood Beach and the Elsinboro riverfront also have whole-home and cottage vacation rentals. Inventory changes, so NJTGO treats these as a lodging category rather than a permanent directory of individual private homes.

Nature-Visit Planning

Birding & Wildlife

The Salem River/Delaware River marsh complex supports bald eagles, seasonal ospreys, grassland birds and other wildlife. Bring binoculars and expect limited facilities.

Fishing

The riverfront is known for seasonal striped-bass activity. Confirm New Jersey fishing-license and seasonal regulations before fishing.

Beach Access

Township public-access points are carry-in/carry-out natural areas. Rules restrict alcohol, fires and motorized vehicles; follow current leash rules.

Hunting Seasons

Abbotts Meadow is a Wildlife Management Area where lawful hunting can occur. Non-hunting visitors should check seasons and use appropriate visibility precautions.

Visitor Essentials

Elsinboro has minimal retail and dining inside the township. Plan fuel, groceries and restaurant stops in nearby Salem City or other Salem County commercial areas, and do not assume every “Salem, NJ 08079” address is in Salem City.
