Yep, it is the all so salty Atlantic Ocean. Cold, murky, and salty to boot. Not too far down the road from the campground is a self car wash, all pressurised. Comes in handy for those sandy excursions. Getting a fresh lube after your trip would be a plus too.

The great thing about Assateague is the simple ability to park on the beach, set up a tent, pop the tailgate and doors open, turn on the tunes, and sit back. Do some surf fishing or sunbath or bodyboard, but all the while, your VX can be sitting right there, like man's best friend should, keeping watch over you.
