Head to where the horses run wild! In this magical place, you will see horses just hanging around on the beach.
You won’t want to miss the Annual Pony Swim from Assateague Island, across the Assateague Channel, to neighboring Chincoteague Island every July.
Enjoy walking the beach, swimming, surfing, viewing the wildlife, crabbing, fishing and kayaking
Camping is only available on the Maryland district of Assateague Island. Learn more on their homepage!

There is nothing better than having the water nearby when you’re vacationing! I would need to keep the fishing poles hidden from my husband if we camped here, or the whole day he would be missing! I would be sure to find him on the beach fishing, and me, this would be the perfect excuse to read a good book in the sand. Ahh can you smell the fresh air? … oh and thanks for the recommendation, this spot goes on my To-Do list !
Not to mention the visitors! The horses stopping by for dinner! 🙂
