Chincoteague Island Virginia is one of my favorite places to visit. I love seeing all the birds, the wild horses, the beach and lighthouse. We were there for 2 nights and 3 days. These are images from the first day.

Lots of Gulls, Terns, Cormorants and Sanderlings on the beach.

A few of the wild Chincoteague ponies.

The wildlife drive opens at 3 pm each day. You can drive and stop to check out the wildlife along the drive.

Lots of Egrets, Herons, Ibis and Cormorants are seen at the Chincoteague National Wildlife refuge.

Sunset at Tom's Cove, the end to our first day during this trip.

Chincoteague & Assateague

I am linking up with Linses Cotton's Scenic Weekend

These are some of the pretty scenes from last weekend's visit to Chincoteague and the Assateague Island National Seashore. We only stayed on night and since this was somewhat of a last minute trip, I missed out on our usual Best Western hotel room. I prefer the Best Western it is located right outside the park. This time we chose the Fairfield Inn, a new hotel that opened off the the main street in Chincoteague Island.

Seen in the distance is the Assateague Lighthouse.

The beach at Assateague Island National Seashore.

The boardwalk trail at Tom's Cove.

A beautiful day barely a cloud in the sky.

An early morning misty view of the lighthouse .

I hope you enjoyed my scenic weekend. I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday weekend.

Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your comments. Thanks for stopping by to see my post and thanks to Linses Cotton for hosting Scenic Weekends.
