Erected in 1859, the Fenwick Island Lighthouse has stood on the coast of Delaware for over 150 years. Originally, the lighthouse was decommissioned in 1978, but thanks to support from local citizens, the light was turned back on three years later and remains operational to this day.
The primary beach for Fenwick Island residents is at Fenwick Island State Park. Since it's a little more removed than other beaches on the Eastern Shore, you don't have to deal with nearly as much traffic. The beach at at the park offers three-miles of shoreline to use for surfing, lounging, swimming, and more.
Even though Fenwick Island is a smaller town, there are still tons of fun and family-friendly things to do! The Viking Golf and Thunder Lagoon Water Park provides an 18-hole mini golf course, a go-kart track, an expansive waterpark, and an on-site boardwalk.
