Waterfront Dining in West Fenwick

While the West Fenwick community is not actually an island…

…as Fenwick Island proper is, it does have a LOT of water. This can be seen in photos on this site and elsewhere. There is Assawoman Bay to the south and the Fenwick Ditch to the east (separating West Fenwick from the actual island). The “Ditch” leads to Lighthouse Cove and Little Assawoman Bay to the northeast, which flows into Dirickson Creek to the north. There are also dozens of canals, small creeks and even a few lakes in the West Fenwick Island area.

However, there are only a few places for waterfront dining in West Fenwick. Two that we tend to patronize on a regular basis are…

CCFB is a comfy place with an awesome view of Assawoman Bay to the south and incredible sunset views to the southwest.

Catch 54 Seafood Restaurant

Catch 54 is located on Fenwick Ditch where it joins Lighthouse Cove. It provides excellent water views with boating activity and a skyline view of Fenwick Island to keep you entertained while dining or hanging at the bar. The new(er) Papa Grande Mexican-flavor place also has a fine view of The Ditch.

The view from just every table at Catch 54 is one to savor – right along with your dinner.
