Answer
Bay-side and OSV-accessible beaches on Maryland Assateague can reveal spawning horseshoes at high tide—obey NPS driving permits and do not drive over crabs. Pedestrian visitors use designated parking and walk soft-shod at dusk with red lights. Horses and crabs share habitat; give both space.
