About:
Close to the hustle and bustle of the popular Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach resorts, Fenwick Island is a beach town located on a peninsula in Southern Delaware. It had been settled for a long time, but wasn't charted until 1953 because residents were worried that nearby Ocean City, Maryland would expand their development pressures on the little town. Fenwick Island is largely undeveloped to this day, and has been made into a state park.
