Review:

Located on the tiny Assateague Island, South Ocean Beach is perfect for visitors looking to experience the wild side of the Atlantic Coast. Assateague Island is well known for being home to herds of wild horses, which visitors will frequently spot.

Vehicles are permitted on the beach if they obtain a permit , and 12 miles of drivable sand make it easy for them to find the perfect spot to go crabbing, clamming, or surf fishing. The beach is also inviting for swimmers, and it boasts some of the best waves in the mid-Atlantic, making it a surfer's paradise.
