Chincoteague, VA
Wild horses…and feral ponies are one of the main reasons to visit this lovely Virginian island beach town.
You can get the feel of the rural vibe and learn all about Chincoteague ponies at the island’s history museum, and you can also visit the various breeders around the beach town.
This is the kind of place where you come to relax, grab an ice cream from the excellent Island Creamery, and rent a bike to check out the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, which you’ll find just over the water on the outer bank between Chincoteague and the Atlantic.
Make sure you visit the old red and white Assateague Lighthouse, and you’ll undoubtedly encounter bands of horses trekking through the forest or wandering down the beaches.

What a beautiful beach. I would love to be there some day, it is so colorful and inviting.
You completely missed the small communities on the gulf coast in Texas. I guess I should thank you for not crowding up our beaches with tourists!
