Chincoteague
Chincoteague (/ˌʃɪŋkəˈtiːɡ/ or /ˈʃɪŋkətiːɡ/) is a town on Chincoteague Island in Accomack County, Virginia, United States. The population was 2,941 at the 2010 census.[3] The town is known for the Chincoteague Ponies, although these are not actually on the island of Chincoteague but on nearby Assateague Island. These ponies and the annual Pony Penning Day are the subject of Marguerite Henry's 1947 children's book Misty of Chincoteague, which was made into the 1961 family film Misty, which was filmed on location
Legend has it that the feral ponies on Assateague are descendants of survivors of a Spanish galleon that sank on its way to Spain during a storm in 1750 off the east coast, but the likelihood is that they are actually descended from domesticated stock, brought to the island by Eastern Shore farmers in the 17th century to avoid fencing requirements and taxation.[citation needed]
In the Pony Penning, which has been held annually since 1925, horses swim across the shallow water between the islands. If any animal is too small or weak to make the swim, they are placed on a barge and ferried over. All the horses are herded into large pens after running through the middle of town and down Main Street. Pony Penning takes place on the last consecutive Wednesday and Thursday in July. The actual swim occurs on Wednesday, the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company auctions that year's foals on Thursday, and on Friday the remaining ponies swim back to Assateague.
The town features numerous small hotels, bed and breakfasts, and campgrounds that serve visitors to the region, such as those patronizing the beaches. The island also features many restaurants, ice cream parlors, and miniature golf courses. The island contains three museums: Beebe Ranch, the Museum of Chincoteague Island and the Refuge Waterfowl Museum

ASSATEAGUE ISLAND and STATE PARK - Best East Coast Beach To See Wild Horses, Star Gaze and Camp!
Assateague Island is home to 100s of wild Spanish horses that have roamed the wilderness beaches since the 16th century. Assateague Island's wild horses and ponies are heavily protected and they have in turn given the seashore the status of a wildlife refuge.
The wild beaches of Assateague Island are home to not just horses, but also rare types of flora and birds. During the nesting time of certain migratory bird species, the parts of the beach are often closed.
This video serves as a guide to those visiting Assateague Island. Combined with an outline of beach activities and visitor tips, this short 2.5 minute aims to encompass all that this beautiful wildlife refuge is and more!
