Review:
Maryland's only park on the oceanfront, Assateague State Park is a beautiful barrier island famous for its 2 miles of sandy beaches, enormous diversity of birds, and magnificent wild horses. The park is located on the 37-mile-long Assateague Island, between Sinepuxent Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
The beach is great for swimming, sunbathing, beachcombing, fishing, and surfing and the interior of the island is crossed with shady trails great for exploring on foot. There are also small secluded coves to explore in a kayak or a canoe.
The diverse and unspoiled environment provides a home to many animals besides the famous wild horses, such as deer and many kinds of water birds. There is a campsite on the bay side of the island.
