Dewey Beach Information
About Dewey Beach
Dewey Beach, a tiny coastal town with fewer than 350 residents, is an idyllic East Coast destination in Eastern Delaware. It is located on a tiny strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay. It is believed that the town was named after Admiral George Dewey’s heroic contributions to the 1898 Battle of Manilla during the Spanish-American war. Though it is only a mile long and two blocks wide, Dewey Beach is dotted with bars and restaurants, drawing thousands of visitors during warm summer weekends.
In the late summer months, Dewey Beach hosts several events. Dog lovers can’t miss Greyhounds Reach the Beach, a gathering of rescued greyhounds and their owners every Columbus Day weekend!
Adults and children alike will enjoy the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk. Only 10 minutes away by Delaware Route 1, the Boardwalk offers plenty of restaurants, shops, and even a small amusement park. Check out the open-air Rehoboth Beach Bandstand for live music performances, many of which are free!
Those seeking adventure can try parasailing over Rehoboth Bay! Dewey Beach Parasail offers tours for all ages. If you’re not keen on flying at over 500 feet, you can still be a part of the fun and observe from the boat.
Recent graduates take this sleepy town by storm each summer to celebrate with friends in an event referred to as Beach Week. Though it has a reputation for parties, there are also many opportunities for beach volleyball, skim boarding, and boating!
