Camping on Assateague Island National Seashore is an unforgettable experience, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and wildlife encounters.
Located off the coast of Maryland and Virginia, this barrier island is famous for its pristine beaches, salt marshes, and the wild ponies that roam freely across the landscape. The island’s campgrounds provide a rustic, immersive outdoor experience where you can fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves and wake up to a stunning sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. With opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and beachcombing, Assateague is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The island’s remote location adds to its charm, providing a peaceful retreat for those looking to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, visitors must be prepared for the island's changing weather and wildlife encounters, particularly the curious ponies that may visit your campsite in search of food. Whether you’re seeking adventure or tranquility, camping on Assateague Island promises a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of nature.
Situated in the westernmost city of the Florida panhandle, you’ll find a unique expression of art that has become an iconic landmark for visitors and locals alike: The Graffiti Bridge. On an old railroad overpass used by the CSX Transportation Company, off 17th Ave in Pensacola, Florida. Local kids, artists, and graffiti enthusiasts profess declarations of love, support, and individualism. As far back as 1935, people have been decorating the 17th Ave Railroad Trestle. Like Picasso said, just about anything you can imagine becomes a reality on the bridge. Throughout generations, the bridge has seen its fair share of tributes, holidays, encouragement, drawings, insignias, love notes, congratulations, sports themes, and class of “whatever year” messages.
