12See The Wild Ponies
Roughly 55 miles from Ocean City, Maryland, you’ll find Assateague Island. This isle spanning the border of Virginia and Maryland is best known for being the home of a healthy herd of approximately 150 wild ponies. Of course, if you are an exceptional equine aficionado, you have undoubtedly already heard of this unspoiled barrier island. Witness two separate herds of feral horses running free across beaches as soft as castor sugar. They’re managed by the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company and the National Park System. Visit in July during the yearly Pony Swim.
