Dating in Ocean City and Assateague
In shortOcean City is Maryland's beach town, busy in summer and much quieter the rest of the year. Just south is Assateague Island, with wild beaches and its famous horses. It suits a day trip or weekend once you know each other.
A first date idea
The wild horses of Assateague
Most of the Maryland side of Assateague Island is run by the National Park Service as Assateague Island National Seashore, with Assateague State Park nearby. Stay at least 40 feet from the horses, and never touch or feed them, as that is illegal. Check opening hours and fees with the park before you go.
