What to do and see in Dewey Beach, Delaware (DE): The Best Free Things to do

March 16, 2022 Velvet Mowry

Delaware's Dewey Beach is a spectacular sandbar community - on one side is Rehoboth bay, and on the other side there are the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Dewey Beach itself is a small town of less than 400 people, but it has become a popular tourist destination for anyone interested in water sports and beach vacations, and is the perfect spot for a relaxing family getaway.If you get tired of Dewey Beach, which is pretty much impossible, Cape May is only 30 miles down the road and Brandywine Zoo and the historic Kalmar Nyckel Shipyard are right around the corner.

Mama Maria's

Wow, started out the week hungry and wanting to chill after the long 6 hour drive. Saw this beach bar at the rear of Mama Maria's. We always seem to lock in on a go to spot when we go on vacation. This was it. The pizza was awesome and Nico the bartender was so welcoming. More like a hometown hangout not a tourist trap. Nico made the best simple Margarita I have tasted. We stopped back every evening on our way back to our room for a night cap. We might go back to Dewey just to see Nico and eat some of the best pizza I have had in a long time. I want to dig into that menu. We saw several people order a huge chef salad for two but we saw 3 and 4. Fun must stop while in Dewey Beach. Family oriented.

We love coming to Dewey Beach. Even in the off season there are plenty of restaurants open and hotels available. No matter where you are on the main drag of Dewey Beach, you are literally one block from the ocean on one side and one block from the bay on the other side. The outlets a only a couple miles away. Rehoboth Boardwalk is one mile up the road with all kinds of shops (and more restaurants) along Rehoboth Ave.

Woody's Dewey Beach

Reviewed By hoopscoach-dmar - Delaware, United States

We love the atmosphere at Woody’s: Great food, always a game on TV and excellent service. We go there at least twice a month in the offseason, when parking spots are easy to find. We went with our neighbors, who ordered a cup of cream of crab soup, a crabcake and a French Dip sandwich. I ordered my favorite appetizer, which is a mix of Maryland and cream of crab soup. It was delicious as usual. My wife loves their soft shell crabs, and Woody’s is one of the few places we have been able to get soft shell crabs all winter long. I had the bbq salmon with asparagus and tater tots (hey, I think they are a little bit healthier than fries). We loved our meals as expected and the service was spot on. We highly recommend Woody's.
