For $15 dollars you can go to the Town Hall office and buy a license to allow you to take your dog on the beach. This is a LIFETIME one time fee.

Its a happy fun town, the ocean and the bay greet you with a happy hello. I would recommend this town for anyone

We had a wonderful time. Our kids loved it and we are looking forward coming back 2013 . The hotel is right on the beach

Dewey is a short drive from DC - under 3 hours if no traffic issues. Nice and quiet Mon - Friday , things get a bit noisier and crazy on the weekends. The beach is clean and the restaurants are good. Dewey has a small town feel to it. No high rises.

Some are trying to promotoe Dewey as a family place and maybe during the week it is to some extent,family movies on beach Mondays etc. but expect noise, an active nightlife,bar goers, live music etc. If you want a quiet family vacay go to Rehoboth or Bethany Beaches.

There are a lot of awkwardly strict laws that are highly enforced here - parking restrictions, bars close earlier than elsewhere in the US, and a hyperactive local rentacop force - that results from the longstanding, but low-key, local vs. tourist war.

We stayed in Dewey and loved the beach. Our hotel was run down but I think this was a hotel for the kids to party. Not to much noise, but we were gone by the weekend.

Dewey is an interesting town with a mix of summer revelers. Families to college kids enjoy the town, beachers, shops, food, etc.

Rehoboth and Cape Henlopen beaches are more family oriented, whereas Dewey Beach attracts a much younger crowd. Dewey is home to many popular local bars and pubs. Dewey is very crowded during peak season. It is also very dog-friendly for the animal lovers out there.
