The main street of Dewey Beach is a coastal highway with restaurants and bars. Its main tourist draw is a mile-long (1.6-kilometer) sandy shore. This stretch of beach on the Atlantic Coast is relatively short but it’s more than enough for Dewey Beach residents and tourists. The city has terrific facilities for kids at John Waples Memorial Playground and Sunset Park. The young and the restless descend on this part of Delaware in the summer. If you prefer visiting in the off-season, you will enjoy the quiet shores as well as the occasional pod of dolphins. Now that the beach is welcoming visitors, it’s time to plan for a hassle-free vacation. Check out our list of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Dewey Beach, Delaware.
