Description

Presented here against a clear blue sky is the Fenwick Island Lighthouse just north of the state line between Maryland and Delaware. Visitors to both Fenwick Island and Ocean City both claim the Light as their own. (However, it is actually just north of the state line and is, therefore, in Delaware.) Note that the overhead wires and the telephone pole have been removed from this image.

The Fenwick Island Lighthouse has been aiding navigation for mariners since 1858. Today, the historic structure is a popular tourist destination, especially for photography enthusiasts. The "Fenwick Light" is an historic landmark located in Fenwick Island, Delaware right at the border with Ocean City, Maryland. Built in 1856, it is the oldest standing structure in Fenwick Island. The lighthouse is currently owned by the state of Delaware and is open to the public for tours.
