Learn moreA genuine four-season Mid-Atlantic climate
Dewey Beach's narrow oceanfront position between Rehoboth Beach and the Indian River Inlet carries a genuine, coastally-influenced four-season climate (base record).
Real, historical dune-breach and hurricane exposure
This project's own delaware.js record names dune erosion extending to 'just south of Dewey Beach' from Hurricane Sandy (2012); this pass's own research separately cited a historical dune-breach event at Dewey Beach itself (base record).
Direct oceanfront position, unlike inland Sussex County towns
Unlike this dataset's inland-adjacent Ocean View and Millville records, Dewey Beach sits directly on the oceanfront with no set-back-from-the-coast buffer (base record).
