Maryland Coastal Bays · Ocean City, Maryland

Is birding good on Maryland Coastal Bays?

Answer

Assateague and bay marsh edges host seasonal migrations attractive to birders—bring scopes and respect closed conservation areas. Early mornings beat boat noise and heat shimmer. Pair a bay paddle with a quiet Assawoman shoreline walk when wind stays under ten knots.
