In the winter months, the beach is dog-friendly and offers free parking. The shallow and calm water on the bayside is safe for young kids (ages 2-8 years). During the day, you can see the Cape May-Lewes ferry going back and forth.

First time to this awesome bayside beach!…read more Parking was a challenge and when someone across the street from the paid lot opened their yard to park for $20 all day, I was happy to pay. Easy to get to beach. Shallow calm water. There are many families and children (mid August 2024) and it was peaceful and chill. Clean gendered public toilets and outdoor shower if you need. Friendly life guards on duty. Lifeguard Trent was just wonderful to chat with and watch him help others with kindness and care. The Cape May ferry terminal is near and the ferry comes and goes. The Lion's club hosts a stand that rents umbrellas, rafts and other beach gear. They also sell hotdogs, pizza, icees and snacks. I had strawberry-lemon which was refreshingly perfect. Beyond-the-call-of-duty Lifeguard update! These pushy women sat beneath the lifeguard chair and after asking where the rental shack is about 10 times and being told--they said they couldn't walk there (it's not far) to get an umbrella. They whined and whined. Trent took the umbrella down from the lifeguard chair and set it up for them to use!!! So so generous of you Trent! I highly recommend this beach if you're looking for ease. Parking likely easier earlier in the day. I beached til evening!

If it's good enough for the President https://www.yelp.com/biz/brandon-falls-lewes then it's…read moredefinitely good enough for me. I brought my bike and tried hard to get it to go but couldn't. Something about the sprocket was bent. Ugh! Instead, I sprayed some sunblock on my arms neck and face, put on a hat, and took a walk. The beach is stunning. Flat, warm, sunny and not overly crowded for a July weekend. While the beach is not step free, they're trying hard to make it as accessible as possible with mats and ramps that can support a wheelchair. That's awesome. I did see a bunch of offroaders. Apparently, you can get a permit to bring your 4WD onto the beach. Pretty darned awesome, that is! What are those huge concrete structures? They're WWII-era bunkers! Yes, these huge installations were built to counter the fear of German U-boats invading Philadelphia via the Delaware River. A series of tunnels connects the bunkers but those aren't open to visitors. I had a great visit and managed to not get any burn! [Review 18196 overall - 113 in Delaware - 1718 of 2022.]

A beautiful beach-side park and well worth it to follow in the footfalls of our 46th POTUS. Yes,…read morethis is the spot where the President fell off his bike. There had been a spray paint marker but that's been removed. The spot is at the crosswalk immediately next to the pavilion. Vehicle entry is $5 for Delaware residents and $10 for out-of-state to park here for the day. It is a huge parking lot but it's a beautiful area so I imagine it gets packed during the summer! Be especially aware of bicycles as there are hundreds of them and share the road. Joggers, too! And finally, the speed limit is the speed limit. 25 is slow but do you really want a speeding ticket today? [Review 17745 overall - 81 in Delaware - 1266 of 2022.]

It was an absolute joy. I would've recommend this to anyone. Even the trails that were rocky that go outback through the woods we did on a street bike no problem. They seem to be very well-maintained trails. At one point you had the super long bridge that goes over a swampy area, which is really cool too. On the way up on the trail, we saw a turtle crossing the trail on the way back. We saw but I assume is the same turtle taking a hole with his back legs. I don't know why I spent my whole life going to the Jersey shore. You drive an extra hour. You could come down here and have a super nice beach that's not packed and the super nice trails that you can bicycle too.

They tell you how big your umbrella can be, and don't allow dogs during the summer time. Having visited now I can see why there might be a need for some rules as there's just not a lot of space on this beach to share. The beach was okay, but nothing special and quite cramped. There is also a lot of wild growth there that can definitely contribute to your hay fever. I urge any of the five-star reviewers head out to California and visit any beach there. You will be amazed.

The beach at Dewey Beach is dog-friendly. However, depending when in the year, you gotta follow…read morethe hours when dogs are allowed on the beach. And, your dog(s) have to be licensed by the city. But, hey, it's only $15 dollars and valid for that dog's life. Piece of cake! Plus, most dogs are off the leash on the beach. They're too busy retrieving the toys thrown in the ocean or sniffing other dogs. Unlike Henlopen State Park where dogs MUST be leashed.

When you have a December birthday, and can get comfortable weather that's not freezing, and be near a beach, and not have to travel on a cruise or to Florida it's a must on the to do list. Smaller boardwalk then Atlantic City, still worth the visit. I was lucky enough to stop an older couple, who ironically shared my special day, with getting married, so happy birthday to me, and congrats to them to take my picture in a few spots. The main boardwalk was fairly busy, nothing crazy, as parades I've been too in Buffalo, NY and surrounding suburbs. The weather to me was perfect, and not cold at all, for the parade. Parade well organized, police presence, for parade/ traffic control, full of Christmas cheer and patrons were friendly and cautious of others in attendance. Boardwalk consists of variety of shops, places to eat and hotels. Highly recommend a visit, check website or email for events

I was in town for one week and am in the process of learning to kiteboard. I spoke with Bob (the…read moreshop owner) and the instructor, Jaxson, about my skill level (beginner, got up on the board and moving forward during the last lesson I had) and goals prior to arriving. My first lesson with Jaxson was not good. He was not prepared from an equipment/communication standpoint for the lesson. He had only a waist harness (no seat harness) for a beginner lesson. He brought only one size kite, which seemed too small for the amount of wind we had and my body weight. He brought only one size board, which was ~20cm smaller than the board I used during other lessons. It is my understanding that larger boards are preferential for beginners. He asked me if I wanted to wear a helmet (yes, I am still learning). He did not bring an impact vest. He did not bring a method of communication (ie BbTALKIN). Whenever I would ask Jaxson a technical question, his basic response was "that's just how it is". I am a very technical person and I appreciate understanding how things work. I like to know the details. When I tried to dig deeper for further details, I could sense him getting frustrated. He would just reiterate what he had already said. After our lesson, he sent me a text stating that I wasted his time and money because I misrepresented my skill level (I told him I was a beginner). He also stated he was upset with me because he bumped me ahead of other students that had been waiting for at least a month for a lesson (I did not ask for this). If you want to learn to kiteboard, please go elsewhere or you will be disappointed. I wasted my time and money (and excitement). Please don't waste yours!
