Help with things to do in Chincoteague

My boyfriend and I are leaving for Chincoteague on June 5th and will be there until the 8th. We are in our early 20s and I was just wondering if I was missing anything from our itinerary. The three big things we want to do are go on one of the scenic cruises, go to the beach, and explore the wildlife refuge. I%26#39;m planning this completely off of Trip Advisor%26#39;s list of Things to Do so I%26#39;m sure that there are probably other options. So I%26#39;m just looking for suggestions on what to do and where to eat as well. I have a few places to eat in mind but welcome other people%26#39;s recommendations!

Thank you!

Check out Henry Mallard%26#39;s website, the Omniscient Traveler here: http://www.chincoteaguevirginia.com/ Informative and amusing!

A few additional ideas:

Ice cream at the Island Creamery

Movie at the Island Roxy

Visit the Pony Centre, where you can see descendents of Misty and other Chincoteague ponies

Climb to the top of the Assateague lighthouse

Steamed crabs!

If you enjoy wineries, there are a couple on the Eastern Shore. One is Bloxom, another is Chatham, and there may be more.

Have a great time!

On you way to the island or home give yourself time to visit the Ward Museum in Salisbury -- neat and worth an hour stop and on your way north or west.

Go the NASA musueum on Chincoteague Road -- you%26#39;ll pass it on the way in.

Either rent a kayak for the bays on the Island or rent a kayak or Canoe from the Pocomoke River Canoe Compnay in Snow Hill and drift down the Pocomoke River -- a neat 1/2 day adventure.

If you are more adventurious, rent a jet ski for a couple of hours.

Restaurants are rated on Tripadvisor -- try The Sea Shell Cafe, Bills, The Vietnamese place. Not rated yet is the new Mexican place which is pretty good and Woodys for takeout BBQ. Get steamed crabs from Garry Howard if you have a place to eat them -- or just go to one of the parks and have a picnic.

If they are running the tour bus in the Refuge take it -- you%26#39;ll get to see the 2nd bigger herd of ponies that you can%26#39;t see otherwise -- go to the Refuge Visitor Center to buy tickets.

Relax, enjoy.

Thank you! This info helps a lot!

There is really great hiking on the refuge and bike trails as well, but in case it rains - we%26#39;ve got a bowling alley, movie theater and the Oyster museum is a hoot.
