Folks trying to catch crabs on the bayside of assateague with metal traps and chicken on the end of fishing poles. You can also try your luck with digging up mussels. The staff is right there to help and assist you. You may bring your dog along for good luck or walk from island to island while others try their luck
Chester wasn't too keen on the waves, hopefully as we continue to go to the beach he will learn romping in the waves is fun!
Fun at Assateague National Park!
Kody loved the beach
Ranger station parking lot
If you forget your water or your dog is like ours and cant resist running water you can stop for a drink at bath station at assateague oceanside
Patches' first visit ! Rainy warm and windy February day.
Assateague doesn't permit nudity, but despite that, the day I took this photo, there was a naked guy wandering about the dunes.
A wide, beautiful beach.

TripAdvisor Traveler Rating
TripAdvisor

Assateague National Seashore is rated 4.7 bones out of 5 by 31 canine critics on BringFido, and 4.5 stars out of 5 by 761 guests on TripAdvisor.


Customers praise Assateague National Seashore as an excellent dog-friendly beach destination with clean facilities, beautiful scenery, and opportunities for dogs to swim and play, though some note concerns about flies, crowds during peak season, and the entrance fee. Some visitors mention difficulty finding the correct dog-friendly areas due to unclear directions, and a few felt the cost was not justified by their experience, but the overwhelming majority highly recommend the beach for dogs.
