Fenwick Island Lighthouse USA Postcard

Fenwick Island is Delaware's southernmost coastal town, located just across the border from Ocean City, Maryland. Situated on a narrow barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Assawoman Bay, Fenwick offers a quieter, more relaxed alternative to some of the busier nearby resorts. The town is known for its wide, clean beaches, which are popular for swimming, sunbathing, and fishing. The iconic Fenwick Island Lighthouse is a landmark that has guarded the coast since 1859. Standing 87 feet tall, it remains an active aid to navigation. Fenwick also features a charming boardwalk, water sports opportunities on the bay, delicious seafood restaurants, and family-friendly attractions, all within a small, scenic community that retains a classic, old-school beach vacation feel.
