Hi!
Wow! Chincoteague is only about 15 mins. from us. (When I drive) 20 mins. when Michael drives.

Pocomoke has leash laws, but we're such a small town, we really don't have any great places to take our dogs. There's a nice park in Salisbury (that's north of us), but we don't get up there too much. It's funny that you mentioned the signs. We've lived here our whole lives and we've gone to Chincoteague/Assateague a thousand times. We've taken Luke & Ginger to the beach a few times and they LOVE it. The last time we were there a very nice, couple approached us. They were dog-people and loved our Boxers. They told us that dogs weren't allowed on the beach. We couldn't believe. Sure enough there was a sign at the entrance. I guess we just ignored it for all these years. So that depressed us somewhat since our children loved playing in the waves. We got good news though. Assateague Island was divided during Hurricane Hazel back in the 1930's I think. If you know how to get to the Maryland side of Assateague, they do allow you to have your animals.
