Guidebook to Southern Delaware
Sightseeing
This is a must see of the area that many people miss. Filled with wild ponies and beautiful views. We have the pass so you don't need to pay the entrance fee (just ask). Check their schedule for crabbing and clamming lessons.
Highlights include; building a campfire on the beach, over sand vehicle area (you need to purchase a pass), hiking, biking (bring your own), and kayak rentals. This is a beautiful area with plenty of activities.
Don't forget-Water, something for shade, sunscreen, bug spray (mosquitoes can get bad here), beach towels, swimsuit, and food. If building a campfire you will need something to dig a small hole, firewood (you can find at various stands approaching the park), kindling or fire starter, a bucket for water to put the fire out (don't cover it with sand) and a pan or fire friendly stick to cook with.
**Don't miss the Assateague Farm stand; a super cute instagram-able stop with natural food about 5 minutes before the park**

Pay to park and use beach which includes bathrooms and showers. It is about a 10 minute drive. Otherwise use the north Ocean City beach, parking is free for the most part and tougher to come by. You MUST leave the house by 9 am Friday-Sunday or this park will be completely full and there will be traffic.
If you go in the morning keep an eye out for dolphins, they are almost always out there for a watchful eye!
