I parked and spent about 20 minutes enjoying the beach and the sunshine. The beach is beautiful. No trash, firm sand and a smooth include down into the water. The waves were pretty calm today which was good because I did not spot any lifeguards on duty. A great spot to spend some time at the ocean. [Review 18162 overall - 84 in Delaware - 1684 of 2022.]

By the time we got here the facilities up front were closed so I have no idea what was available sans for restrooms and an outdoor shower. According to the website, shower and changing facilities are available, along with a food concession, chair & umbrella rentals, even a Mobi-Mat which allows wheelchairs to be pushed onto the beach (such a great idea). The sandy area is very wide and stretches for 3 miles with zero shady spots or trees. Lifeguards were gone for the day with their stands turned upside down. I noticed some vehicles actually parked on the beach near the northern end, a very cool perk that is not allowed back home. Ocean conditions were fairly calm but most folks were in waist-high water at most. OVERALL: Spacious real estate, but coming from Hawaii, my expectations are set too high, LOL.

For the past few years, we've traveled to Ocean City, Maryland and arrive on Sundays. Our Sunday…read moreitinerary always consists of coming to this park for their "Sundeas in the park ". There is street parking or a lot parking available. I do recall one year due to the Marlin tournament. Parking was difficult and we did park a few blocks away. Overall the walk was not bad and it was well worth it. I recommend bringing chairs or a blanket. If you plan to stay a while. On Sundays, they have a live band, ice cream for purchase, a playground, pond, and lots of open grass for family and friends to enjoy. Everyone's favorite part is the Sunday fireworks show. The show is great! We will continue to add this park to our Sunday fun day while in Ocean City.

I went on this excursion with my family this past weekend, and I left extremely disappointed…read more Honestly, I wish I could get my money back. We were the only family of color on the boat, and I couldn't help but notice a pattern in how the host interacted with the passengers. Each time he came around with the sea creatures, he passed over my family and went directly to the White families. Their children were given the opportunity to hold, touch, and see the animals up close, while my family was skipped. The first time it happened, I spoke up and said, "Hey, my kids would like to hold them too," and only then did he come back to us. The second time, I intentionally stayed quiet to see if it would happen again--and it did. Once again, my family was passed over. My daughter was especially upset because she didn't get the same opportunity to participate as the other children. I can't say for certain why we were treated differently, but based on what I personally observed, it left me feeling singled out and unwelcome. No family should leave an experience feeling that way. I've attached a photo of the host from our excursion. If you're a family of color considering Assateague Adventure, I wanted to share my experience so you can make an informed decision. Unfortunately, this was not the welcoming, inclusive family outing we were expecting.

Not only did they come out and set everything up, and then return to take it away, they included everything we needed for a fun day at the beach. Chairs to include lounge chairs, towels, ice in the ice chest tables. A larger than life tent to shield the sun, a large rug to calm the sand, and a fire pit to relax beside at the end of our day. (Perfect) It was a wonderful experience from start to finish that I highly recommend. Relax and enjoy your day. Lori and Gina will handle all the little details for you.

The festival encompassed and closed off portions of the Boardwalk and it was amazing being able to support local businesses (in their business!) while at a festival.

Never, EVER have I experienced such clean restrooms at a music festival OR at a public beach.
