Fenwick Island Lighthouse

Take a side trip to the beach, a short drive from the Baltimore Peninsula, to see the historic lighthouse in Fenwick Island.

The Fenwick Island Light Station has been a beloved part of the seaside community and a revered landmark for centuries. Located in Fenwick Island, Delaware, this historic lighthouse has overlooked the Atlantic Ocean since 1859. Built in a classic style that is iconic to the area, it stood as a beacon to warn ships of rocky shoals, the Fenwick Shoals, and guiding them safely along their journey.

Fenwick Island Lighthouse is an historic landmark with its first lighintg on August 1, 1859. It is the oldest standing structure in Fenwick Island and the oldest lighthouse in Delaware. While the Fenwick Island Light is in Delaware it is located right at the Maryland/Delaware line and is continuously visited by people vacationing in the beach resort. It is currently owned by the state of Delaware but is actively supported by an organized group of volunteers, The New Friends of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse.

Ocean City, Maryland and Fenwick Island Delaware (the lighthouse is on the border between the states) are both a possible day trip or and enjoyable short vacation trip away. The lighthouse is approximately 125 road miles from our Baltimore Peninsula.
