About Assateague Island National Seashore

The Assateague Island National Seashore is located on a barrier island off the states of Virginia and Maryland. The island has miles of beaches, with the northern beach popular among nudists (naturists) who enjoy being part of nature as we were intended to be.

Assateague clothing optional beach is not an officially recognized nude beach. At one time, Assateague used to have a popular nude beach in the Virginia section of Assateague near Chincoteague. A forceful local religious group effectively ended all nudist activity in the Virginia section with Accomack county passing an anti-nudity ordinance in June of 1984.

Assateague Island National Seashore Directions

Take RT. 50 east, as if you are going to Ocean City. As you get near the bridge going into Ocean City, Maryland route 611 will be on your right. Turn right onto 611 and follow the signs to Assateague State Park. After going over the bridge, go straight to the state toll booth. An alternate way is to take Rt. 50E to 113S, then Rt. 376E, then Rt. 611S. The turn off of Rt.113 is marked with an Assateague Park sign. The alternate way is quicker and bypasses much of Rt. 50 traffic, especially if the Rt. 50 draw bridge is up
