An Easier Way To Stay

Built back in 1976, the original motel here on Van Dyke Avenue was one of the very first in Dewey Beach. It’s located in the heart of town but tucked away off of a quiet corner just steps from the ocean. The Surf Shanty Motel is a newly-renovated modern boutique motel with vintage vibes and a super chill mojo that throws back to its 70s roots.

Come to Dewey and spend some time getting to know our tribe.
