This experience is unlike anything you will have at a traditional beach. You will share the beach with the gentle ponies of Assateague. Although sightings are not guaranteed I have experienced these ponies every single time I have visited this beach. This is a quite beach with no boardwalk and very little available for refreshments. There is a bathhouse with ample facilities, but, plan to pack your lunch. (Leave early in the morning to avoid traffic.)

If you are looking for a beach with everything from restaurants to parasailing and amusements this is the beach for you. Plan to arrive early and stay late to avoid traffic. This is the most popular beach and when not timed well traffic and parking can be a nightmare. If find that is I leave the house by 6am parking is easy to find and I plan to stay until at least 8pm. I also try to plan my visits on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday as these are the quietest days with the least amount of traffic.
