Assateague Island and National Seashore
Storm tossed seas, as well as gentle breezes shape Assateague Island. This barrier island is a tale of constant movement
and change. Bands of wild horses freely roam amongst plants and native animals that have adapted to a life of sand, salt
and wind. Special thickened leaves and odd shapes reveal the plant world’s successful struggle here. Ghost crabs buried in
the cool beach sand and tree swallows plucking bayberries on their southward migration offer glimpses of the animal
world’s connection to Assateague.
