Bowers Beach is an adorable little town right in between the scenic Murderkill and the St. Jones Rivers. It’s still an old-fashioned fishing town, where watermen spend their days collecting oysters, crabs, and fish for area restaurants. It’s a quiet, sleepy town that features some shops, a museum, and the famous JP’s on the Wharf restaurant.

Please note, JP’s on the Wharf is temporarily closed.

So, what's JP's famous for?

There are a few things that draw travelers to JP's regularly.

Their fresh caught seafood that comes right onto the docks is one thing - you won't find fresher seafood in this part of the state, for sure.
People also come by for the outdoor seating.

Not only will you get a beautiful water view, but you'll get to hang out with the stray cat that has made JP's his home! Dinner, a pretty view, and nice company? Is there anything that would make this place better?
