This beach and the National Seashore are the best on Delmarva if you like to stay away from the drama of retail shops, traffic, crazy kids and noise. Assateague has a peaceful landscape.. and I love seeing the ponies.

Assateague is one of the cleanest beaches I've been to in addition to the beauty of the surroundings as you drive through the state park and national seashore. I saw lots of egrets, wild horses and even a couple of deer

We visited during early May on a dreary cool day. We stopped at the Visitors Center and enjoyed a Free movie on the Horses of Assateague in their theatre.

This location is a great contrast to Ocean City. A natural environment with its qwild ponies and other wildlife. The visitor centre has a great video showing the beauty of the park. We liked the palce so mush we visited twice this time.

Clean beach, wild ponies, and bike paths, what's not to love. Just like at the National Park right up the road, the place is one of the last remaining truly clean ocean areas on the east coast. Make's the top ocean quality list every year. There is a store on the beach where you can get sodas, ice cream, bug... More

What more can you say about a park that offers camping, picnics, a store, a restaurant, deer, flowers, fishing, the ocean, biking, hiking, canoeing, surfing, kayaking, offroading, and.....wild horses!!!

This was our first visit to the Maryland side of Assateague Island. We have been to the Virginia side several times. We really enjoyed our Spring visit to the Maryland side. I think we saw more ponies this time than we have before. There was a nice spring breeze coming from the water which made walking some of the trails... More

Beautiful State park with wild horses roaming the seascape. Just beautiful to walk the coast and see these amazing animals.
