6/14 We enjoyed our paddle on Chincoteque and Assateaque Islands, home of the Wild Horses of Chincoteague. The paddling out there is beautiful, warm and friendly but shallow. Low tide will have you scraping with your paddle. The horses are approachable from the water, more so than by land. Chincoteague, the city, is a quaint little tourist town, with oodles of shopping and seafood. We happened to fall in to their 2nd Saturday celebration, and many of the stores had live entertainment, wine tasting, and snacks. We found a vineyard in the area that does kayak tours to an island where they provide wine and cheese. We didn't get to take advantage of that.... but we may return. Highly recommended as a kayak destination, just stay in Chincoteague at an Inn or hotel, and if you camp, stay on Assateaue on the Atlantic side. The bay side camp ground makes Minnesota mosquitoes seem wimpy and on the endangered species list.
