Assateague Island is a special place. It retains a feeling of wilderness. I prefer it to over-built seashore areas like Ocean City.This year we were on the Maryland portion of the island. The southern part is in Virginia.
I noticed that a number of visitors had dogs on leashes. Dogs are not allowed on the Virginia half of the island for fear that they might molest the wildlife.
Much of Assateague is wetlands. The park service has built boardwalks so that you can walk over the marsh. This is one place where you don't want to forget the insect repellent! (I'm pretty sure you can buy it at the Visitors Center, but we keep some in the car.)
Looks so lovely! Is it there that you can find wild mustangs?
ReplyDeleteNo, just ponies. They are short because of limited nutrition on the island, I believe.
DeleteLooks very nice though the solar pnnels spoil it
ReplyDeleteHello, love the kites and the dogs. Happy Friday, enjoy your day and weekend!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful area to explore, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI camped at the National Seashore there while I was in college. Such a fun spring break! I hope to be able to visit again someday. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooks a very nice area …
ReplyDeleteThanks for the insect repellent warning!
All the best Jan
I wouldn't care much for the mosquitoes as they always seem to find me with or without insect repellent, but the beach looks lovely.
