Just as a heads up, we have been to Assateague several times and you need to be aware that there are issues with ticks there. Keep the kids and yourselves out of any deep grass or bushes and check for ticks occasionally.

There are some big, biting flies, too, maybe from the horses, that actually draw blood. So bring repellent and good screens.

Love that area - we used to go every summer and anchor a little boat off the island in the bay to swim ashore for the beach.
