By a unanimous vote April 9, Dewey Beach commissioners approved a set of rules for the baywalk, public bayside beach and gazebo on Van Dyke Avenue that largely mirror those of the oceanside beach.
The one major difference in rules is that dogs will be permitted on the bay beach during the summer season when lifeguards are not on duty. A lifeguard may be assigned to guard the bay beach during certain hours depending on conditions, rules state.
