"The Refuge is a bit unlike many others because it is also a public beach access. This is good and bad for the obvious reasons. Bird viewing and photography are enjoyable here. Unfortunately, someone has made a bad decision to only open the wildlife drive after 3 p.m. This is done so that walkers..." and bicyclers have it to themselves from morning to 3 p.m. What about those whose physical mobility is impaired and they can't walk or bike? I found myself in that situation and inquired of the staff inside and was told I could get a wheelchair and push my companion around the 3.5 mile drive. I didn't find that totally reasonable.

"Captain Charlie's boat tour of Chincoteague/Assateague is filled with native knowledge of his life on the island. He showed us all the sites, herd of horses, eagles, etc. and the local peoples and celebrities. He was recommended to us by the hotel staff. We provided a very personalized and colorful ..."tour. We enjoyed it very much. There is no choice...go with Captain Charlie!
