The national park area of Assateague island has camping and the state park area is ideal for day use. There is a bathhouse with changing rooms and showers, a gift shop, and a grill that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
First you come to the visitor’s center, while has great educational displays.
Then you travel over the bridge to the island. Once you park your car in the state park’s lot and head back to the road for a bike ride or walk on the paved bike trail where you can spot ponies, turtles and birds. Then head to the beach for the rest of the day where you can spot even more ponies.
Lifeguards are on-duty daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and pony patrol officers are always nearby to make sure visitors can safely enjoy the presence of the wild horses on the beach.
The state park beach and lot are open daily from 7 a.m. to sunset and entry costs $4 per person for Maryland residents.
The Ocean City boardwalk is about a 15-minute drive away, so it’s easy to stop by on your way home for a snack, rides and souvenir shopping.
