Tips from locals
Educational with live sea creatures. Located right before the bridge to go over to Assateague Island. Great stop on a rainy day.
Assateague Island was separated from Ocean City during the hurricane of 1933 when what is now the Ocean City Inlet was formed. The island remains undeveloped and is a respite for visitors looking for a quiet spot on a beach. There is a fun visitors center to explore just before you cross the bridge onto the island. There are also three hiking trails that explore the three zones of the island. And of course, there are the famous wild ponies roaming the island that are always a joy to see. If you have a four wheel drive vehicle you can obtain a pass to drive to remote parts of the beach (see the Assateague Island website for details).

Take a day trip away from the town and visit Assateague National or State parks. See the wild ponies on the beach and you can even get a permit to drive on the beach which in kinda fun!
Wonderful to see the wild ponies. Beware that the beach tends to have a lot of mosquitoes.
