The main sites of Dewey Beach
Dewey Beach
A plethora of high-quality restaurants and tax-free shops line this beach, which is perfect for swimming, jet-skiing, and boating. Dewey is always animated by exciting events. Try a spirited Taco Toss at The Lighthouse, or get your groove on at the Elvis Festival, Rusty Rudder Jazz Fest or the Delaware Music Festival.
John Waples Memorial Playground
Children clamber, crawl, slide, and swing at this fantastic playground. There's even an informal lending library, where you can pick up a bedtime story. There's a latch on the gate for tiny ones so you won't need to worry.
Sunset Park
A memorial gazebo in the corner of this pretty park commemorates donors and their families. Kids will love watching the horseshoe crabs sidle along the sand while the sun sets over the bay.
Cape Henlopen State Park
Thousands make the pilgrimage to Cape Henlopen's beaches and wild areas. In the summer, you can enjoy swimming in the bathing area, golding on the green or playing a game on the basketball court. Come for the Kite Festival, a riot of colour, or the Halloween Fantasy Trail, which is imaginative to say the least!
Biggs Museum of American Art
There's always something new at Biggs Museum, where the exhibitions showcase American culture and artistic production from the 19th century onwards. A vibrant events programme draws you in with special artist-led tours, lectures, screenings, and activity days. Youth and family programs are almost as creative as the collections themselves.
