This swimming beach is located within the Assateague State Park campground. This is a full service campground for tents, trailers and RVs with easy access to the ocean beach. Early reservations for camp sites is highly recommended during the summer months.
The famous Assateague Island ponies are frequent visitors - remember to keep your food items securely stowed away and please don't feed the ponies. They can kick and bite, so please keep your distance but they are beautiful to watch!
Assateague Island was once targeted for major development (4,000+ development lots!) and a citizen group The Committee To Preserve Assateague Island was founded by Judith Johnson and others to advocate for the preservation of the island as a National Seashore. Obviously they succeeded and today the Committee is known as 'Assateague Coastal Trust.' ACT hosts the local Waterkeeper program - the Assateague Coastkeeper. Learn more at www.ActForBays.org

Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Heading to the beach should only be considered an option if social distancing practices can be followed. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter the efforts to curb the virus’ spread.
