Fenwick Island (Delaware–Maryland)

Fenwick Island is a coastal town located on a barrier island of the same name, split between the states of Delaware and Maryland. The majority of the island and the town bearing its name are located within Delaware, specifically in Sussex County. A small portion of the island's southern tip extends into Worcester County, Maryland.

The town of Fenwick Island, Delaware, is primarily a summer resort destination known for its sandy beaches along the Atlantic Ocean. Tourism is the primary economic driver for the area. The island offers a range of activities including swimming, sunbathing, fishing, and boating.

The boundary line between Delaware and Maryland bisects the island, a historical artifact of colonial land grants and surveying efforts. The "Transpeninsular Line," established in the 18th century, defines this border.

The island itself is characterized by a relatively narrow strip of land bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Assawoman Bay to the west. It is a popular location for vacation homes and rentals.
