Exploring Assateague

The Island of Assateague has three parts managed by various organizations: Assateague Island National Seashore, Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, and Assateague State Park. The seashore and forests are perfect for exploration. You might see all kinds of birds and other wildlife on the island, including a glimpse of Assateague’s famous wild ponies. Two herds graze the marshes and dunes of Assateague. You might spot them while combing the beach for shells where you can also see bottlenose dolphins in the surf. 

Bicycling

The farm fields and bayside landings between Berlin, Snow Hill, and Pocomoke are the perfect area to explore on bicycle. You can watch for wild turkey and whitetail deer. The Viewtrail is a 100-mile loop through rural Worcester County. And there are hundreds of miles of cycling trails throughout the Delmarva Peninsula. It’s a beautiful way to enjoy the area.
