Welcome to Fenwick Island, DE

Visitors may be surprised to learn that Fenwick Island isn’t actually an island. Rather, it is part of a narrow strip of land along Delaware’s Eastern Shore tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and Little Assawoman Bay.

Fenwick Island is perhaps best known for its historic lighthouse, which just celebrated its 150th anniversary. But just as popular is the fresh and delicious seafood served at local restaurants like Warren’s Station. And with Ocean City just over the state line, Fenwick is a short hop from some of the area’s most vibrant nightlight.

Because of its quiet, peaceful atmosphere, Fenwick Island is ideal for retirees and those looking to relocate far from the bright lights of the East Coast’s big cities. Yet it is still an easy drive to such employment centers as Annapolis, making Fenwick Island real estate just as desirable to commuters.
