Features and Amenities

Area Overview - Fenwick Island

Delaware’s southernmost beach destination, Fenwick Island is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Little Assawoman Bay. Defined by its natural boundaries, the quiet coastal community offers the best of both worlds, with just a few blocks separating the tranquil bay inlets and docks on one side and the ocean breakers and pristine beach on the other. Rare magic is defined at sunrise and sunset; at Fenwick Island, both can be viewed over the glistening waters of the Atlantic.

The best of both worlds aptly describes the atmosphere at Fenwick, too. A favorite among families and adult vacationers seeking escape from seaside kitsch and commercialism, Fenwick offers low-key, unspoiled beaches and recreational activities without isolation. You’ll find convenient access to shops, fine and casual dining, celebrated boardwalks and entertainment within minutes. Ocean City, Maryland, Fenwick’s action-packed antithesis lies just a few miles south.

For more than 75 years, Fenwick has been known as a fisherman’s paradise. You’ll see early risers on the beach at daybreak casting for bluefish, rockfish and flounder.For birdwatchers, hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts, the island boasts a 344-acre state park — one of the most beloved stretches of protected coastline on the Atlantic — complete with bathhouses, food service and handicap access to the beach.
