Dewey Beach has the perfect location. The town is right between the ocean and the bay, therefore, affording visitors all kinds of water sports and activities. Once you park you can walk from one restaurant or bar to another with no problem. Does it get crowded? That’s a given. Music and dancing venues are located along the strip of Highway One or Coastal Highway.
Being that it is a St. Patrick’s Week-End at the beaches…please check websites or call to get the latest info. Some have music and some don’t, but they are definitely open for the season.

If you were to drive through the Town of Dewey Beach today, you would be surprised at how quiet it is. Don’t let that fool you. This is a town that has become a destination for those who are young, and for some of us that want to keep being young.
The bay on one side and the ocean on the other. In between? Restaurants, watersports, bars, and lots of entertainment.
April 1st seemed like a good day to start opening a few of those places in Dewey that have become so popular with visitors and residents alike.
Que Pasa? Well, this Cantina is opening today. Outdoor sitting is available even though at the moment it is quite chilly at the Delaware Beaches. Indoor sitting is available, as well.

April 24th, 2010
Well, this week, certainly, I have had a diversed group of posts. From Fager’s in Ocean City, Maryland, Tulip Festival in Lewes, Life Saving Station, Shredder Truck, yesterday, Friday, 4/23, the preview of Avery’s Rest (archaeological dig), and ending in Dewey Beach at Que Pasa? with entertainment at Lighthouse with John Eddie. Afterall, my blog, is AboutMyBeaches, so experiencing what these resorts have to offer is part of my job. Please, don’t laugh. I am serious, it’s true.
I arrived at Que Pasa? at dusk. This Mexican Cantina is located on 124 Dickinson St. in Dewey Beach. Tel. 302-226-1820. I wrote about this restaurant on 9/2/09. Just go and click on the month of September and scroll down to the date. It is an open Bar on the water, facing Rehoboth Bay. The view could not be better. You are able to eat at the Cantina, outdoors or you can go to their own restaurant inside. On a beautiful evening like last night people had started happy hour early and it was crowded.
Happy Hour is not just one happy hour anymore, it is all day. In Dewey Beach, that’s the way of life. It is a true beach town; water, water sports, restaurants and music.
And that’s how my evening started.
A friend mentioned to me, last summer, that I needed to go to Dewey and listen to John Eddie. For one reason or another I never did. Again, she mentioned that he was playing for the first time, this season, at Lighthouse on Friday. She is a true fan of his.
As I mentioned, Que Pasa? was full and we had drinks there and said hello to locals and residents alike. Then, we ate inside because it does get chilly in the evening, at this time of the year.
A few of us ordered the seared tuna. It was so delicious, perfect portion and cooked just the way it should be, very pink in the middle. It was accompanied with sauteed potatoes, a slaw and a chipotle sauce. Other orders were steak quesadillas, shrimp quesadillas, crabcake sandwich. Everyone was happy.
We were enjoying every moment but we really were waiting for the time to arrive in order to see John Eddie.
Finally, we decided to walk around the restaurant to Lighthouse. Que Pasa? and Lighthouse are part of the Ruddertowne Complex of entertainment venues and restaurants located in Dewey.
I was told that even though John Eddie was supposed to start at 9 p.m., he is never on time. On Friday, the fans were getting restless since it was almost 10 p.m. and they were still setting up. You could see everything going on because Lighthouse is not that big and it was full to capacity.
I did not know what to expect of him. He had a boyish look and a resemblance to Bruce Springstein in the way he moves and performs. By the way, Bruce is a fan of his.
His music genre? A little bit of country and a lot of rock and roll. Then add some soul and folk music; that’s John Eddie. His website is www.johneddie.com.
As a songwriter you find that his songs are very personal but some are definitely, foot stumping.
The moment, I kid you not, he started performing there was not one single person that was not dancing. That lasted about 3 hours. He engaged his audience and you were right there with him. Yo Faithful! Raise Your Bottles, Raise Your Glasses and everyone did, many times.
His renditions of Rod Stewart’s 1971 Maggie Mae and Elvis’ 1969 Suspicious Minds were phenomenal. He plays them in every show. Fans expect him to.
His followers travel to see him perform. Today he is at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, then to Kennet Square, PA and then to San Diego, CA. But, this summer, starting on May 27th, he will pretty much be every Thursday, at the Cove, also located at Ruddertowne in Dewey.
So, if you like to dance and listen to good music, put on your dancing shoes and you now know where to go.
Have a great week-end!!
