Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Assateague State Park is a lovely public recreation area in Worcester County, located along the northern edge of Assateague Island. As Maryland's only oceanfront park, the park offers year-round opportunities for Atlantic Ocean swimming, surfing, fishing, and beachcombing throughout the year along its gorgeous two-mile public beachfront.
It was established in 1956 by Maryland's Board of Public Works and has hosted annual New Year's Day beach walks for the nearby Berlin community since 1970.
Visitors can explore secluded coves within Sinepuxent Bay via rental canoe or kayak or observe native wildlife throughout the park, including feral horse populations on the island. The 18th-century Rackliffe House coastal plantation has been fully restored to its historic glory, open for living history tours showcasing exhibits connected to the Coastal Maryland Heritage Center.
