Tho I was camping on the State Park side, I visited the ferry landing and the Dunes walk. We injoyed the Visitors center and the restored Rackcliff House. We drove down to Chincoteaue and visited the visitor center there also. We took the board walk across the marsh and enjoyed reading the informative sign boards and the bay and ocean views.
Sincerely,
Assateague Island National Seashore
This 37-mile-long barrier island along the Atlantic coasts of Maryland and Virginia includes adjacent marsh islands and ocean waters. The park offers an extraordinary beach experience that allows visitors to enjoy wildlife and outdoor activities in a beautiful natural setting. About 3.2 million people visit the national seashore annually to boat, bird-watch, fish, hunt, crab, clam, camp, ride over-sand vehicles and see the park's famous wild horses.
