This summer, the tourists will flock to Ocean City for the attractions, seafood, and beach. But there’s an even more beautiful beach just 20 minutes away and it deserves a spot on your bucket list. Head to Assateague Island if you haven’t already, and prepare for gorgeous views galore.
Assateague is a barrier island that stretches all the way to Virginia, where it becomes Chincoteague.
The Maryland portion remains undeveloped, keeping things natural and serene.
The white sand beaches stretch for miles. You can visit several beachy spots either on the state park side or national park side.
Splash around in the ocean, soak in the sun rays, or simply enjoy watching the wild ponies that inhabit the island.
Love to hike? There are a handful of nature trails that provide diverse sights, including dunes, boardwalks, and wetlands.
