WHAT TO VISIT IN MARYLAND SEASHORE
Ocean City
boardwalk is famous for its entertainment and amusement
(including amusement parks). Ocean City offers beach life,
sightseeing (dolphins are often seen from the beach), golf
courses, fishing, boating, shopping, nightlife and plenty of
restaurants. And also... huge crowds at weekends, especially in
Summer.
But if you want to escape the crowds, you just have to
head some dozen miles south, to Assateague Island.
Assateague Island is popular for its non-crowded beaches and
also for its wild ponies, dolphins, bald eagles, birds and
marine life.
BEST TIME TO
VISIT ASSATEAGUE, OCEAN CITY AND MARYLAND SHORE
Unless you hate crowds, the best time to visit Ocean
City is the Summer when beach life and the golf courses
are at their highest (Assateague Island isn't a crowded place,
and summer is undoubtedly an excellent time in this part of
Maryland's shore).
Be aware anyway: rain is very common in Summer (rains
averages around five inches in Summer), though most of it lasts
only a couple of hours and doesn't disrupt vacations.
Spring is a mixed and very unpredictable season: there are
many warm days, but nights tend to be cold, and windy days are
very common. Besides, the sea-water is rather chilly.
Fall is also an excellent time to go and presents the
best sea-water temperatures: warmer sea-water temperatures than
air isn't an uncommon fact.
The Winter isn't definitively a good time to travel to
Maryland seashore, unless you just want to rest in a
moderate-cold weather, with excellent golf and cheap hotel rates
(snow is rate in these latitudes, but there are a few really
cold days and, episodically some snow signs).
WHEN NOT TO GO
ASSATEAGUE, OCEAN CITY AND MARYLAND SEASHORE
To avoid the risk of disagreeable weather conditions, avoid the
December-February cold period, or even the beginning and middle
Spring (or late Autumn) when weather is rather uncertain.

Chincoteague. Chincoteague is a Virginia's small town, in
the border with Maryland, and clearly the best base to visit
