4 days in Chincoteague Island Itinerary

Famous for a wild breed of horses--Chincoteague Ponies--Chincoteague Island embraces the mystery of some of North America’s oldest inhabitants.

Step out of Chincoteague Island with an excursion to Janes Island State Park in Crisfield--about 54 minutes away. The adventure continues: surround yourself with nature on a nature and wildlife tour, visit a coastal fixture at Assateague Lighthouse, explore the wealth of natural beauty at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, and have some family-friendly fun at Funland Amusements.
