Island Adventure: Discover Chincoteague and Assateague Islands
- Walk a short distance on the 37-mile-long beach on Assateague Island — the longest undeveloped beach in the mid-Atlantic — accompanied by an expert who teaches you about dune ecology and the natural forces that constantly reshape the island.
- Learn how these islands inspire the arts as you enjoy a painting demonstration from an award-winning wildlife artist, and an evening performance by local musicians who teach you sea shanties, old and new.
- Explore restricted sections of the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in search of ponies, Sika elk, waterfowl and migratory birds and learn about the island’s aquaculture industry while cruising local waters.
