The Assateague Island Lighthouse is located 1/4 mile away from Chincoteague Island and is maintained by the National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service. The Lighthouse was constructed in 1833 and has warned ships and watermen of the shallow waters off of Assateague Island for many years. Take a tour and get a close up look at this fine piece of history.

The Assateague Island National Seashore is a great place to spend time. Many animals, birds and fish inhabit the Chincoteague Fish and Wildlife Refuge.
