Assateague State Park, Coastal state park in Berlin, Maryland, US
Assateague State Park extends across a barrier island with sandy beaches, salt marshes, and maritime forests along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline.
The area transformed from Native American fishing grounds into a protected natural reserve through legislative action by Maryland State in the mid-twentieth century.
Wild horses roam freely throughout the park grounds, representing a connection to local maritime legends of Spanish shipwrecks along the coast.
Visitors can access camping facilities, nature trails, and beach areas through designated entrances, with seasonal permits required for specific activities.
The combination of pine forests, coastal wetlands, and beach environments creates distinct zones where diverse wildlife populations thrive throughout the seasons.
