Sheltered Waters
You're Facing Sinepuxent Bay and Assateague Island
The Atlantic Ocean lies just over a mile away, on the other side of Assateague. The pedestrian and bicycle bridge to your left provides a fine elevated view of the island.
These shallow coastal bays are sheltered from the ocean by the barrier island, and provide an environment rich with aquatic life.
Erected by Assateague Island National Seashore.
