Dewey Beach Reviews
Rating 4 out of 5 3 reviews
I love Dewey Beach!! The people are friendly and always willing to help. Everything is conveniently located. The beaches are very clean and it is a dog friendly beach!! There are about 5 sets of Tanger Outlet complexes. Everything is in walking distance. You can rent a house or apartment, park your car, and walk to everything! Another plus...the state of Delaware is tax free!!!!
Living here is very laid back, but recently there has been way to much construction and people moving down. I think that if we do not stop building developments we will become over populated, more polluted, and create a less easy care free living area that this place used to be.
The crime rate here does not seem to be back. Dewey during the summer gets a little crazy with all the bars but the cops always seem to be on it. Some times my family and I joke about how the cops have nothing better to do than bust under age drinkers.
