Things to do in Dewey Beach

Yes, Dewey Beach has tons of fine restaurants and tax-free shopping galore. And you can always spend a great day lying on the beach here, toes in the sand and nose in a book. But that would mean missing the true Dewey Way of Life, which typically involves more active pursuits: Sampling the Bloody Mary Bar at The Starboard. Going to the Taco Toss “happy hour” at The Lighthouse. The days are meant for parasailing, jet-skiing, or boating in the bay; nights are time for music-fueled merrymaking at bayside nightclubs filled with done-up divas and dudes. Savvy revelers plan their trips around legendary events: Bacon Festival, Fourth of July Fireworks; and musical get-togethers such as the Elvis Festival, Dewey PopFest, Rusty Rudder Jazz Fest and Delaware Music Festival.
