Fenwick Island

Fenwick Island occupies a narrow barrier-island strip between the Atlantic Ocean and Little Assawoman Bay on Delaware’s southern coast. The town sits beside the Maryland line, where the Fenwick Island Lighthouse, built in 1858, has long marked this low-lying stretch of shore. Beaches face open Atlantic surf, while the bay side is calmer and tied to the tidal waters behind the island. Fenwick Island State Park extends north of town, preserving dunes and a broad public shoreline. Despite its compact footprint, Fenwick Island follows the seasonal rhythm of a Mid-Atlantic resort community, with fishing, water sports and beachgoing central to local life.
