- Assateague Island. - Stormy seas and gentle breezes -- Bands of wild ponies freely roam the island. Plants and native animals have adapted and grow with roots in the sand, salt on all surfaces and wind ever-present. The plants display thick leaves and odd shapes. They remind us of the struggle for life here.

Here you will find ghost crabs buried in the cool beach sand. You will find tree swallows filling up with bayberries on their southward migration.

Human struggles are intertwined with this island where the ocean demands attention. Gallant surf rescues by the US Life-Saving Service and dashed dreams of a summer beach resort are but a few of the stories told here. Assateague Island National Seashore
