Assateague Island National Seashore is More Than Just Wild Horses | Get Out of Town

Laurita and Lauren visit Assateague Island National Seashore, where they explore the beauty and history of this unique coastal destination. The park includes one of the last longest undeveloped stretches of coastline on the East Coast and includes four distinct habitats: forest, marsh, dunes and beach. During their visit, the Portees try their hand at crabbing, with tips from park ranger Nicki. Then it's off to find Assateague's famous wild horses, who have inhabited the island for over 300 years.
