Dewey Beach, Delaware, United States

4.5 (551 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Dewey Beach Beaches

Really Empty

Sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay, this quaint town is popular with the younger crowd and home to numerous excellent bars and brewpubs with live music and great food. In summer, look forward to activities like outdoor movie screenings and community bonfires in addition to jetski rentals and guided kayak excursions. The surf tends to be rough, but the beach is dog-friendly, and the small-town charm and relaxed vibe on offer during the quieter seasons draws couples and families from wide and far. The busier Rehoboth Beach is only a stone’s throw away. – Tripadvisor

    Nice beach
    It is a nice, clean & not very crowded beach. They have lifeguards part of the day. They seem to rake up sand & collect trash (plus have bins for trash, cans & bottles on the beach). It is good if you are staying close by, it was a short walk from the hotel. It probably wouldn't be a good location for a day trip though - I think it is set up to cater to the people who made reservations & just walk over.

    Dog and people friendly/
    Dewey Beach is a quiet, dog-friendly and people-friendly beach town. Quieter and much more chill than Rehobeth. I think you need to rent within walking distance because there are no public facilities on the beach, no bathrooms, changing rooms, and little public parking, if any. Umbrellas are $14 to rent for the day. The sand is super soft and clean. They comb it nightly. In the early mornings, people bring their dogs to the beach! This was my favorite part. And at night, my boys and I spotted dolphins. I beg, though, for someone in Dewey Beach government to work with local establishments to cut down on their plastic use. For a beach town, where the ocean is their livelihood, I expected better. Restaurants use so much single-use plastic. Straws, cups, dipping cups. It's so upsetting.
