Solo Travel · Ocean City, Maryland

Can I do Assateague as a solo day trip?

Answer

Yes with a car or arranged transport; go early, carry water, and keep distance from wild horses. Cell coverage can be spotty—download maps and tell someone your return window. Pack layers for wind on the barrier island.
