If you would like to venture even
further into the island, you will need an off-road vehicle and purchase a
permit. The permit as of Summer of 2006 costs $70; good for a year. The
National Park Service has established regulations on the type of vehicle you
may take onto the beaches and requires you to carry certain equipment with
you while on their off road trail.
Read the Requirements.

A quick stop at the rangers
station to pay your permit fee and sign some paperwork and your on your
way.

Off road trail leading the the Assateague Island National
Seashore.



I wasn't sure what to expect or if the
trouble of purchasing the permit was worth the time and money, however what
we saw quickly proved to be well worth it!

People were fishing and swimming in the ocean as wild
ponies walked right by.

There were less flies along the beach and the ponies
seemed more comfortable.
