Despite a November Saturday we had excellent 60+ degree weather with lots of sun. We did see a couple of horses and a couple of deer. Overall spent 3-4 hours enjoying the area. The main part requires payment but we had our lifetime Senior Pass with us and got in at no cost. They check IDs to match the pass.

Most amazing sea shore I have experienced on the Atlantic coast. Took the ferry from New Jersey and had never heard of this place. Amazing drive and very cool place. I cannot wait to visit from the other end.

Rangers were friendly and helpful at the visitor's center and clean bathrooms were available. Started our visit by driving down to South Ocean Beach. On the way, we saw a few ponies, but they were pretty far away. Beach was nice, with a few broken seashells. Next, we drove to Ferry Landing, but there wasn't too much to see there. We stopped at Marsh Trail and walked that loop. In that area, we saw a few ponies up close – but not too close. Next, we drove to the Bayside parking lot for a beautiful sunset. Perfect ending to our day!

We had a lovely day here, even though it turned out a lot colder than expected. There was some rain forecasted but we only got drizzled, and the horses were still out! Shortly after we entered, they were scattered on and around the roads, besides being in the grass where you'd expect them. We even got to see a couple brand new foals that were just born this week. It was really fantastic. If you can possibly come here, I would. We enjoyed walking the boardwalks through the marshes as well. It was beautiful.

We drove from Ohio with 2 kids, specifically to go to Assateague Island. We stopped by the visitor's center first, buying tons of horse souvenirs. We ended up not seeing a single horse, lol. The beach was very busy, too. However, we still had a great time and would absolutely go again!

This island was amazing, to be able to see wild horses anywhere is amazing but to see them on this gorgeous island is a must see experience! They are so beautiful, majestic, and it also offers camping on the island as well which I hope to do another visit. Note that it is strictly enforced to not attempt to pet them, feed them, you are just to observe, stay out of their way and most definitely drive slowly. Pictures are allowed.

Definitely the highlight of a family trip to the Ocean City area. Well worth the entrance fee to see this beautiful place and spend some time at their visitor/learning center. If I had planned differently, I would have stayed outside of OC and driven to Assateague for our beach day and time at the ocean rather than spending time at OC. Saw a lot of families enjoying the beach, and horses with babies were right there enjoying the beach too! It is a tranquil place with different types of hiking trails. There is also a place you can rent boats (kayaks, but probably canoes and other small boats too.) We visited a long time ago during the off season and it was just as beautiful both times. This place is for nature lovers and for everyone who can appreciate the ocean without all the crowds. Saw horses both times.

Great place to visit year-round and during the summer is the best time to see a lot of the wild horses or other wildlife. I’m usually here once or twice a week and it’s never disappointing. Great place to bring your family or if you’re a nature lover. it’s also good place to do Milky Way photography or if wallops flight facility is doing a rocket launch. You can see a rocket launch if you go down fairy Landing Road by the naturalist shack and also a great spot for sunset.

Be sure to Stop at the visitor center before entering the park for great information about the ponies and amazing hiking trails. This was an amazing experience and we walked all of the trails through many different echo systems from dunes to wetlands. We saw the wild horses, deer, egrets, crabs and fish. Our national park senior passes got us in for free. We didn’t visit the beach although it was beautiful with lots of families enjoying it.

This park has a dog friendly beach, so we took our pup to have a beach day. It did take some time to enter the park, as they have only two booths to check in admissions, and there was a lot of rubber necking going on due to the wild horses being in the road, and people stopping to take photos. The parking is also a bit limited but we were able to find a spot within a short distance to the beach. The beach was fairly clean and the crowds were not bad at all. There were many families and groups, but there was plenty of room for everyone. There are showers available also, which is always a plus. Definitely recommend for a dog friendly beach.
