You're Invited to Chincoteague Island!

    CHINCOTEAGUE ISLAND, VA, April 14, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Voted "The Best U.S. Islands for Family Vacations: Readers' Choice Awards 2015 Conde Nast Traveler" and "The #1 Happiest Seaside Town in America" by Coastal Living, Chincoteague Island has plenty to do and enjoy.

"You can explore the channels and nature preserve of Assateague Island," said Bonnie Rydel, owner of Bluehaven, a quaint beach cottage. "Chincoteague Island boasts a cute town with lots to do; great seafood, art galleries, gift shops, and old-fashioned ice cream shops. There's a vintage movie theatre, boating, biking, fishing, crabbing, surfing, miniature golf or you can just relax on the golden sand of Assateague Beach."

Made famous by the children's book, Misty of Chincoteague, the island has become a getaway destination for friends, couples and families. "It's a slower pace," said Stephanie Taylor, owner of Eastern Shore Retreats (a vacation home rental agency). "People come here from all over the United States to unwind and re-charge."

While most people have heard of the "Pony Swim" where the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department swims the wild pony herd from Assateague Island to Chincoteague for a yearly auction and celebration, there are activities for every taste and budget throughout the spring and summer.

"The best way to visit is to rent a vacation home for a few days," said Taylor. "At Eastern Shore Retreats we do everything we can to make sure visitors have a pleasant, relaxing experience."

"It's cost effective," says Rydel. "And there's a lot more room in our house, Bluehaven, than any hotel room. We get compliments on thinking of everything a family or visitor might need."
