I’m sorry for the confusion. Dogs are allowed. On the same trip we went to chincoteague and there dogs are not allowed. I had the 2 mixed up and just wanted to clarify so yes go and you can bring your dogs to Assateague.
Planning a day here next week with my 3 and 5 year old. Is one spot better than the next to relax on the beach and see the horses ? Is there a short easy trail? We only have one day so any advice to maximize our time would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
A:
I would recommend talking to locals, sometimes the horses done run !!! When we were there, no horses ran, but you could go to the stables.
I live in Hawaii, I would like to know if there is a good chance of seeing horses the last weekend of September. Where would the best place to stay to view these beautiful horses.
A:
You can see them anytime of the year. There would be a good chance that you would see them
I am bringing my 2 kids for a June weekend and camping in the state park. I know they’ll love the horses but also will want to be on the beach. I’m not seeing a ton of beach photos on here. Is it normal to do typical beach-y stuff here?
