Dewey Beach
Delaware
WBS Home Coast
Just south of Rehoboth, Dewey is an open stretch of sandy beach where waves break over shifting sandbars. On small days it is a relaxed spot for beginners and longboarders, and it can get fun when a good east swell lines up. Local surf rules change with the season, so check before you go.
