Why You Should Get a Dewey Beach House

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

For these reasons, you should definitely look other places for a beach house. Nobody wants to go to the beach only to find out that the house is no longer there. There are so many other places to look, but one of the most underestimated beaches to look at for buying a house is Delaware’s Dewey Beach. Dewey is a peaceful place to stay where everything is within walking distance. Dewey is only one mile long and about three blocks wide, with the Atlantic Ocean on the east side and Rehoboth Bay on the west.

At Dewey Beach you can not miss the chance to stop by The Starboard, voted one of the top twenty five bars in American by Men’s Journal Magazine. The bar features an option to build your own Bloody Mary with over 700 ingredients, all the DJ plays your favorite track or a live band plays the latest hits. The bar is also a great place for people to meet up, as they say, “under the shark”. One of the mini malls features a lot of different places to eat including Dagsworthy Deli, Dairy Queen, Franco’s Pizza, Wings to Go, and Nick’s Philadelphia Steaks and Subs. The bay is a great place to go boating. You can take your jet skis, your wave runners, your water skis, your kneeboard, your float tube, your motorboat, or a fishing pole. If you are on the beach in the early summer months, you should keep an eye out on the ocean side for dolphins, which are commonly seen that time of year. The ocean waters of Dewey beach are crystal clear, and the sand is a beautiful shade of gold.
