This is a wonderful place to explore! Tons of birds to view for the bird lovers and the famous wild ponies. We visited in mid May and were able to view several herds of ponies with their babies. I would suggest going before the pony penning in July if you want to see the mares and their foals. Bring lots... More

This comfortable bus tour took us from south to north on Assategue Island. We saw many ponies and learned a lot about other animals and how much the barrier island changes.A worthwhile two hour tour. The visitor's center where you buy the 12.00 tickets is beautiful and has excellent displays. More

In fact, the ponies were about 2 feet from... More
