The three miles of barrier island that make up Fenwick Island State Park are full of beaches, sun, and fun for everyone who steps foot within its bounds. Located right in between Assawoman Bay and the Atlantic Ocean just a short drive from Behtany Beach and Ocean City, Fenwick Island is a haven for swimmers and sunbathers, with lifeguards on duty during certain hours in the summer months and a bathhouse with showers and changing rooms as well as a small shop and a concession stand for snack food. Fenwick Island State Park is one of only a few beaches in the state that has an area specifically designated for surfing, and it also has three dune crossings for surf fishing for those with a vehicle permit.
