Beach Reopening

Assateague Island National Seashore reported:

The Chincoteague Beach and Beach Parking area within the Virginia unit of Assateague Island National Seashore will reopen at 3 PM on FRIDAY 8/29.  Until then, please continue to stay out of the area so that we can maximize the amount of parking available for the weekend.

The Tom’s Cove Visitor Center will reopen at 9 AM Saturday 8/30.  Lifeguards will be on the beach for the Labor Day weekend.  We would like to thank all those who helped get this done, Including NPS and USFWS staff, and Town of Chincoteague and Accomack County work crews.

The parking lots will be at about 2/3 capacity for the weekend.  Please do not attempt to go beyond closures-you are likely to get stuck.  Have a great Holiday weekend!
