contents We construct an infinite family of quartic del Pezzo surfaces over $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$ with no quadratic points, for all primes $p\neq 2$. This answers a question of Colliot--Thélène, Creutz and Viray in the negative, which asks whether every quartic del Pezzo surface has quadratic points over $C_2$ fields. We exhibit a Brauer--Manin obstruction on the variety parametrising lines associated to the quartic del Pezzo surface.
