Why We Live Here . . . Dewey Beach, Delaware

Dewey Beach is a coastal town in eastern Sussex County, Delaware. In 1868, "Rehoboth City" first appeared on a map of Lewes Rehoboth Hundred in Beer's Atlas of Delaware. It is believed that the name was changed to Dewey Beach following the 1898 Battle of Manilla (Spanish–American War) when Admiral George Dewey became a national hero.  Dewey Beach celebrates Admiral Dewey Day every April.

Incorporated in 1981, the town lies on a small strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay, is about one mile long and two blocks wide. Despite its small size and low year-round population of about 300, it is not uncommon for 30,000 to descend upon the town during summer weekends. Dewey Beach is a popular family resort spot, particularly because of its wide, sandy beaches, and local/unique restaurants.

The town hosts a number of popular annual events such as the Dewey Beach Music Conference, Greyhounds Reach the Beach, and the East Coast Skimboarding Championships.  In August 2016, Dewey Beach was ranked 28 on the Top Value Reviews' list of 30 Great Small Beach Towns on the East Coast; it was described as a "high-end beach town destination that seems as if it has come straight out of a classic beach movie.”  (Source: Wikipedia)
