Very nice to ride bikes, saw the wild ponies. The rangers were very helpful in the visitor center, giving us a map of the trails and explaining them. Wear bug spray as I did get bitten up by mosquitoes.

We drove down twice while staying in Ocean City to visit here. Both times we saw wild horses. Some were even up right at people's campsites. The next day we saw horses in the road and on the bike path. It was great to see...More

I took a spontaneous trip to Maryland to get away from it all, and a very nice Denny's waitress recommended to go to Assategeaue. It was too cold to swim but the weather was perfect to walk along the beach and see some ponies.
