When one thinks of white sand beaches, they usually imagine tropical islands in the Caribbean. While Maryland certainly can’t compare to places like that, it does have one particular spot with pristine-looking sand…
Assateague Island is most well-known for its population of wild horses. Even without these cunning creatures, it’s still a pretty impressive place.

Because Assateague Island is too unstable to build upon, the scenery and sand remains unspoiled.

Walk along the sand and take in the views of the uncrowded spots.

You can even camp right on the beach in order to enjoy the immaculate sand from sunrise to sunset.

We love the wild horses but next time you’re here, make sure to pay attention to just how perfect this spot really is.
