Pretty beach!

If you don’t want to spend $20 to get the the National Shoreline just stop by this State Park which is located next door. It will cost you much less but experience will be almost similar since the wild ponies don’t know/ don’t have borders.

Lovely, wonderful horses, killer flies.

I love this place, but the black flies will drive you away even if you use bug spray. Fortunately, we got to see the horses before that. Come prepared. Wrap yourself in a mosquito net--it's that bad. Draws blood. The dressing room is something from...More

Wonderful state,federal and national parks all in one.

We drove both ends of the island. Maryland and Virginia. Not connected anymore due to hurricane erosion but worth the drive to reach both. Saw many wild horses and a few deer. Waterfowl are everywhere. This is our third or fourth trip

Beautiful walk on the beach. Didn’t think I was going to see any horses and then there they were. Only two but I was super excited to see them just roaming free. Totally worth the trip. Only did the Maryland end this time. Will head...More

Seen one horse--you've seen them all

I guess it is neat to see wild horses wandering in the park, but the poor beasts have been so exposed to humans that they didn't seem wild to me. I think the horses have been desensitized to human encounters. We did see a mare...More

Had not been to Assateague since I was a child, this trip brought back memories, seeing the horses wandering free around the island was awesome. There were lots of campers using tents on the dunes and the beach was really clean and beautiful. I highly...More

Beautiful but buggy

Very beautiful. We found the pony's in the camp grounds. Also a lot of birds travel through the area so really good birding during the migratory times. There were ton's of mosquitos so be prepared with bug spray.
