Assateague Ocean is the main ocean-side spot on Assateague Island, accessible from the national park entrance.

The spot is more accessible than the OSV zone, with parking and basic facilities at the park. Northeast waves and winds offer excellent kite-surfing conditions. One of the few mid-Atlantic ocean spots with a truly natural setting.
