Assateague Island National Seashore, a remote beautiful barrier island off Maryland and Virginia's Eastern Shore, is a fee based National Park with public swimming beaches, campground sites, walk-in primitive camping sites, and limited off-road vehicle access. It is well known for great summer surfing, kite-boarding, and amazing surf fishing!
There is a kayak launch area at the end of Ferry Landing Road, and many educational walking trails on the bayside and in the dunes.
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
