Directions: From Ocean City, cross the Rt. 50 bridge heading west. At the third traffic light, turn left onto Rt. 611 South. Signs will direct you to Assateague Island National Seashore and the popular Barrier Island Visitor Center. It is approximately 7 miles from the Ocean City bridge.
Discover the Island by Car
Begin your Maryland visit to Assateague Island National Seashore in the family-oriented Barrier Island Visitor Center, located at the end of Rt. 611, just prior to crossing the bridge to Assateague. Pick up a park map, enjoy the aquariums, or watch a film about the island.
Cross the bridge to Assateague and explore the barrier island. Short, self-guided walks are available. Longer hikes are available north to the Ocean City Inlet from Assateague State Park’s beach parking lot, or south along the off-road vehicle zone. An entrance fee of $15 per vehicle (good for seven days) is charged to go into the National Seashore.
More information about Assateague Island can also be obtained by visiting www.nps.gov/asis/.
