Sandwiched between Rehoboth Beach (just 2.5 miles to the north) and Delaware Seashore State Park 4 miles south, Dewey Beach is known for drawing the most energetic visitors to Delaware beaches. Water sports, from jet skiing to kayaking, reign supreme here by day (though lounging at the beach is perfectly acceptable as well!), and when the sun falls, the nightclubs and bayside restaurants come to life. Its central location among the Sussex County coastal destinations makes it easy to travel between them, with Cape Henlopen State Park about 10 miles north, Bethany Beach about 11 miles south, South Bethany about 12 miles south, and Fenwick Island about 16 miles south.

What are the top things to do in Dewey Beach?

The very set-up of the beach showcases what an active lifestyle beachcombers chase here. Tucked between the lifeguard stands are eight volleyball nets and 14 tetherball stations. When it’s time to hit the water, wakeboarding, windsurfing, and other water sports are popular area activities.

Rehoboth Bay Marina

This full-service marina offers boat rentals to head into the area’s waters for fishing, clamming, or crabbing, which the area is so well known for.

Coastal Highway

The main drag in town is home to a brewery, a hot dog stand, bars, and restaurants serving seafood, pizza, and Mexican food. Also on the highway (which is known as Highway 1 as well) is a grocery store and convenience store for all your beach day essentials.
