Fenwick Island is a barrier spit along the Atlantic Ocean in Delaware and Maryland in the United States. It contains the communities of South Bethany and Fenwick Island in Delaware along with Ocean City, Maryland.[1][2] Until 1933, it was attached to Assateague Island to the south. That year, a hurricane carved an inlet between the two landforms, which was made permanent.[1] But for the Assawoman Canal, the island would be attached to the mainland of Delaware.
