Chincoteague Island—a magical blend of sea and land

There's more than a touch of magic about Chincoteague Island, the Virginia idyll where sea and land lap into one another until they blend as one. Here, you'll find uncrowded beaches, hidden creeks, and brightly painted shacks. And ponies. Lots of ponies. The famous Assateague Island horses run wild here, grazing in its delightful meadows and swimming in its inlets. Chincoteague Island vacation rentals can be magical, too, housed in historic B&Bs or charming country inns. A book could be written about this place. And of course, it already has, as fans of Marguerite Henry's Misty of Chincoteague know to their joy.

Things to do

Chincoteague is ranches and sands

No matter how much you're pining to get on the yellow sands and splash in the wild Atlantic waves, it's certainly worth making a detour to Beebe Ranch and the small Museum of Chincoteague Island before you head out. The first tells tales of the region's famous wild ponies, while the latter is the perfect intro to the seafaring past of the isles. Then you can head to the beaches, which run the whole length of the protected Assateague Island National Seashore – don't forget to get a snap of handsome Assateague Lighthouse along the way.

Activities

Let the Chincoteague magic wash over you

While a vacation in Chincoteague Island means getting out and about, it's in an easy-going kind of way. Strolling and pedaling its lanes open up the island's beauty to you. A backwater boat tour gives you glimpses of those famed ponies at their most photogenic. Or you can head out on your own adventure, paddling a kayak or canoeing along winding inlets. Then again, you could just plump down on a rickety pier and dangle a line into the water for lunch. Or watch others doing so. After all, why push it in paradise?

Weather

Chincoteague Island—think shoulder seasons

Summer is when the Chincoteague Island experience is at its most magical. This being Virginia, expect it to be warm and sunny, and a tad humid. July sees highs approaching 80°F. Either side of that summer-time peak, you'll find both lanes and backwaters more peaceful, and the daytime temperatures a comfortable 60-70°F. There's no rainy season as such here, with only occasional refreshing showers. And if you do enjoy a winter break from it all, you'll find it a gentle season here, with plenty of affordable Chincoteague Island vacation rentals.
