Review:
South Ocean Beach is a charming white sand beach on Assateague Island National Seashore, which is overseen by the National Park Service and jointly located within the states of Maryland and Virginia. The seashore serves as a vital wildlife refuge for more than 320 species of migratory shorebirds, with protected sand dune, wetland, and marsh ecosystems ensuring biodiversity for future generations. Unspoiled beachfront areas offer opportunities for kayaking, fishing, boating, birdwatching, crabbing, and beachcombing, with shoreline cruises offered for opportunities to see the island's population of wild ponies. Lifeguards are staffed on the beach during the summer months, with protected safe areas for swimming and surfing. Nearby on Chincoteague Island, a plethora of dining and lodging options are offered, including campgrounds and bed and breakfast facilities. Map
