The dynamic territory known as Delaware’s Cape Region radiates north, west and south from Cape Henlopen where Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The Cape Region includes the ocean and bay beach communities and the eastern half of Sussex County that looks to the beach for its recreation, shopping and entertainment.
Delaware’s Cape Region represents the fastest-growing areas of Delaware and the East Coast. The growth continues due to low taxes, our temperate climate, public beaches, and the bays and rivers.
Our distrubution has grown to include points beyond our Cape Region. Readers now acquire papers in Seaford, Bridgeville, Selbyville, Greenwood, Millville and beyond!
The Cape Gazette is published Tuesday & Friday, and sells more than 23,000 copies each week. More than 8,000 receive home delivery of the Cape Gazette twice a week. An additional 4,000 to 5,600 copies are sold weekly on newsstands.
