Loved everything. Walked to almost everything. People are friendly. Restaurants are wonderful. Just a very nice place to get away from it all.

Love Dewey. A fun town with lots to do, but not so packed like Ocean City or Rehoboth. Great for teenagers to middle agers and beyond.

Been visiting Dewey Beach every year for 10 years! The "town" has changed greatly over those years, as has the beach. It comes and it goes, but with the right combination of friends to share it with, you can NOT go wrong! Plenty of homes to rent from VRBO - come on out and enjoy the ocean!

My family gets together every year for a week and we look forward to it so much. The beaches are clean, great restaurants, close to boardwalks, walking distance to the beach no matter where you stay. Have nothing but good things to say about Dewey.

The beach itself is beautiful, accessible and family-friendly. A genuine, traditional, Delmarva gem. And some of the neighborhoods are consistent with that: small, relatively inexpensive places in quiet surroundings. But then there's the "other Dewey Beach": the mega-bars overflowing with drunk college kids, the noise, the tackiness and the tourist rip-offs. Old Dewey locals are fighting the mega-bars, but its...

Dewey Beach was a great choice for our family -- wonderful sand, fun waves, but without huge crazy crowds. We found lots of interesting shells, loved the huge contrast between the beachscape at high and low tide, and really enjoyed the absence of crowds or commerce there. One warning, though: There are no porta-potties or restroom facilities of any kind... More
