Today was the 15th Annual "Dewey Goes Pink- Gugie Run".
An incredible 5,000 Runners/Walkers signed up to participate and brave the wet, chilly October day.
It's always heart-wrenching to see families run in memory of those lost to breast cancer, and equally uplifting to see survivors run to mark their fight and recovery.
Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and celebrated the successes.
All money raised is donated to the local Sussex County Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC).
The 14 year total for funds raised is $2,286,276!!

The Dewey Beach Police Department had a great time last night at Dagsboro Community Night, hosted by our public safety partners, the Dagsboro Police Department and the Dagsboro Volunteer Fire Department.

Lots to see and do, and we love the chance to connect with surrounding communities! The awesome thing about Delaware being so small is you always know people wherever you go!

We were excited to dig into the incredible BBQ chicken dinner plate and just had a fantastic time!

Dagsboro Police/Fire departments outdid themselves, and we look forward to next year! Thank you for the invitation and a great chance to strengthen our community partnerships!

Today, after 32 years of distinguished service to the citizens of Delaware, Chief Wayne Kline of the Delaware Natural Resources Police said farewell to friends and colleagues at his official "walk-out ceremony".

Chief Kline has always been a friend of the Dewey Beach Police Department and was one of the first Chiefs to welcome Chief Speake over three years ago.

Chief Speake remarked: "Chief Kline was an immediate resource for me, providing guidance, assistance, and friendship; he will be sorely missed by all of us."

Congratulations, Chief Kline, on a job well done. Thank you for your expertise and leadership. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement.

As of 2:40 p.m., all Bayside streets are open, with the exception of:

-Dickinson

The pumps on Bayard are back up and running, and it is completely clear of water.

Tomorrow, DBPD in conjunction with our Maintenance team will assess the beach and weather conditions before opening the beach. Until then, the beach will remain closed.

We want to thank our residents, businesses, and visitors for your ongoing cooperation and patience. We hope, like everyone, that the worst of this storm is behind us.

Stay safe!-

09/27/2026

As we navigate rain and high tides for another day, the Town is dealing with high water on the bayside roadways.
We will continue to limit vehicle traffic on the affected roads and ask for your patience as we are putting the safety of all as our main concern.

The following are still in effect:

- Beach is CLOSED!

The surf is high and violent, with large pieces of debris in the water. Additionally, the beach access points have steep and dangerous drop-offs.

- Intersections that are coned off are closed to vehicular traffic!

The DBPD will continue to update conditions on this page throughout the storm.

Please stay safe.
