A soon-to-open restaurant behind Dewey Beach’s landmark beachfront lighthouse was gutted by a fire Thursday night.
Firefighters responded to the blaze at the Lighthouse Restaurant around 10 p.m. Thursday, Kent Swarts, a captain with the Rehoboth Beach Fire Department, told WTOP.
By the time firefighters arrived, the flames had fully engulfed the restaurant, including new decking that had been installed.
Construction on the two-story restaurant at 124 Dickinson Ave. had recently completed, and it was set to open this summer as part of the Lighthouse Cove resort project that includes a nearby Hyatt Place.
