About this city
Dewey Beach is a vibrant, energetic coastal strip in eastern Sussex County, Delaware, uniquely situated on a narrow sliver of land sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Rehoboth Bay to the west. Incorporated in 1981, this small but famous beach town is renowned for its dual nature: pristine, wide sandy ocean beaches by day and a bustling, legendary nightlife scene by night. Geographically measuring only about two blocks wide, the town offers unparalleled water access, making it a hotspot for watersports like skimboarding, jet-skiing, and parasailing. Its highly rated coastal waters and lively music festivals attract a youthful, active demographic seeking both coastal beauty and high-spirited entertainment.
