  For those using public transportation, check if there are any local bus services that operate within the park and connect to Rehoboth Beach. The DART First State bus service may have routes that stop near the park and provide access to the Coastal Highway. If a bus is available, board it and inform the driver you want to get off at the closest stop to the Indian River Life-Saving Station Museum. Once you disembark, you may need to walk approximately half a mile south along Coastal Hwy to reach the museum.

  For adventurous visitors, biking is a great option! If you have a bicycle, you can ride from any location in Delaware Seashore State Park. Follow the park's internal paths to the Coastal Highway, then ride south for about 1.5 miles. Ensure you wear a helmet and follow traffic rules as you navigate along the highway.
