Assateague Inn is located on picturesque Chincoteague Island, VA world famous for its "wild ponies" and the annual "pony swim and auction". Just minutes away from the Inn, at biking or dedicated walker distance, is Assateague Island National Seashore. It is one of Virginia's "unspoiled" barrier Islands, the last undeveloped islands on the U.S. East Coast. Its 14 mile long beach is a great place to swim, sun, and surf.
