Dewey Beach was incorporated in 1981. Accolade like “Superstar Beach” by the Natural Resource Defense Council has given Dewey this award for its perfect water quality ratings.
Even with all the partying that goes on at night, Dewey, is also a family town. During the summer, movies on the beach and other activities; a tot lot and a gorgeous beach. It is a playground for all; a well balanced act.
