Assateague Island National Seashore

Assateague Island National Seashore can be accessed from the Maryland shore via the Verrazzano Bridge that crosses Sinepuxent Bay. Information can be obtained at the Assateague Island Visitor Center located on the Maryland Shore in proximity to the Bridge. The National Park Service recommends stopping at the Visitor Centers to obtain information regarding the challenges which the barrier island may offer, as well as regulations regarding vehicles, cycling, camping, swimming, hunting, clamming and shore fishing, among other opportunities offered. Horseback riding is not allowed on the Maryland portion of the Seashore during the summer due to disease carrying insects affecting equines. Riding regulations in the Wildlife Refuge located on the Virginia portion of Assateague Island differs. In addition to the Maryland Visitor Center, there is the Barrier Island Visitor Center located on the Island near the Bridge crossing, as well as the Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center located on the Virginia side of Assateague Island. There is also the Fish and Wildlife Service at Toms Cove. The regulations and suggestions offered through these services will help to insure visitors of a wonderful and exciting visit to this unique barrier island, where daily elements perpetually create a changing landscape along the shoreline. Enjoy the beaches, salt marshes and forested areas or take advantage of the Ranger-led programs which include kayaking, and seasonal special programs. Check the Visitor Centers to see where exhibits, a film about the wild horses on the island and trail maps are offered.
