• Can I sleep in my car in Delaware? Depends on where you try it (delawareonline.com) — If you’re thinking of napping in your car in Fenwick Island, be aware it’s illegal to sleep there overnight, just like in several other Delaware beach towns. The article compares these local bans with looser rules at inland rest stops and in other counties, helping drivers understand where a car nap could bring a fine versus where it’s allowed.
