Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:05/24/2009 10:38:12Copy HTML JamieTG,
My wife and I were at the main beach in the National Park on Saturday (May 23), with the wind blowing off the cold ocean it wasn't exactly the ideal conditions for laying out, we ended up just walking a few miles on the beach in our shirts/shorts instead. It will probably be a couple more weeks before we venture out. |

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:05/26/2009 12:02:48Copy HTML was there saturday--the conditions deteriorated as the day progressed as the wind picked up. Most of the people far north were nude all day--never really saw any thongs nor any rangers and I was there most of the day...or at least until I couldn't take the cold wind.
It seems from this thread that the overzealous park ranger(s) have disappeared and thonging is now once again acceptable. I've not seen any patrols while wearing a thong, but should that happen, I 'll update the board. |

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:06/09/2009 02:05:50Copy HTML Thongs are again ok at Assateague. Rangers drove by twol times yesterday and though they slowed to make sure it was a thong, kept moving once they realized that it was a string thong.
Seems like the prior year's zealotry has finally given way. |

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:07/02/2009 04:35:03Copy HTML I got out to Assateague for part of one day last week. I saw no other thongers, only nudists. The nudists were in high awareness mode, quickly covering up when park vehicles drove by a few times, but I had absolutely no problem in my thong. So go for it.

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:07/10/2009 10:03:26Copy HTML Bad news. When I asked about thongs on the beach the person I talked to said she had never had that question before. She said she would ask someone about it. When she came back she said thongs were OK. Then I asked if thongs were allowed around the campsites. She said it was checkin time and she would have to get back to me. Well I posted the Good news.
She called back and quoted from some source that said exposed genitals and buttockts were not allowed. Sorry I asked. I not done yet. I will be in Rehoboth next week and plan on driving down to Assategue and checking in person. Also, there was an article in one of Rehoboth's papers about skimpy swin wear (someone posted it under Rehoboth thread) that I am going to check out. I was told by the Rehoboth beach patrol (2008) thongs were OK on Rehoboth Beach beach but not the state park. The article says not. I will post an update. |

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:07/12/2009 04:02:23Copy HTML Had the most wonderful day yesterday at Assateague!....arrived with my wife about 3 pm and spent the day pretty much by ourselves. There was a perfect sea breeze, no flies and the perfect temperature. My wife wore her Wicked Weasel black satin sheer bikini and looked wonderful....which you can judge for yourself. I had such a nice time doing an end of the day photo shoot with her! All in all....a very relaxing time.

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:08/28/2009 08:43:47Copy HTML Made the trek from the western shore to the island and it was great. The sun felt nice and the water was perfect. The flies were biting, but it was worth the trip. Don't get there enough. There were about 5 or so other thongers or nudes. I did, however, notice the different signs this year. "nudity prohibited", they used read, "you may encounter nude sunbathers....". Of course, I took a nude picture in front of it! Didn't see one ranger all day. That will probably do it for me this year. I'll have to stay on this side of the bay to save money and about five hours of driving. Take care all

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:08/29/2009 01:41:32Copy HTML string, i always carry 1 or 2 cans of "repel" with 40% deet. unless there is a very strong west wind, that product keeps the flies off so you can enjoy the beach.

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:08/29/2009 03:31:23Copy HTML My mistake, I took a different bag (easier to carry) and my repel wasn't in it. I do know better. We have the same problem at Sandy Point. No worries. It was nice anyway.

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:06/03/2010 03:09:32Copy HTML The wife and I were out on Memorial day...very small crowd out but nevertheless perfect conditions....temps in the upper 70's and nice seabreeze blowing and no insects. My wife wore her brand new bright red Wicked Weasel and she looked fantastic!...But most important....was how wonderful she felt she looked wearing it! With so little people on the beach, my wife felt comfortable hamming it up for a nice photo shoot....I will try to post something she finds suitable in my profile. A very very nice day at the beach!

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:06/09/2010 05:26:36Copy HTML Made it out to the island beach on Tuesday, Set up near the first Nudity Prohibited sign. Didn't take long for several people to set up far away from me. It was nice but, lots of seaweed in the surf...Saw quite a few people, most walked on further south to "nude" end. Wore a very skimpy g-string most of the day. When I finally took it off to take care of the tan lines, the bird people came driving by. Quickly put something on! No big deal they spent a long time at the north end. Most of the folks near me (couples and single men),were nude until someone approached. Met Chuck, the self titled, abominable sandman. He and I chatted for about 30mins. and he went on south for the showers. Except for the burn on my back (where I couldn't reach), It was a great experience. Love to meet people, I was hoping for a more friendly environment. But, I guess when folks are nude they don't want to bothered. It's too bad people don't hang in groups or bunch up. I mean, I know there is alot of beach out there, but it would be cool if there were certain section for other like minded people, to talk to. I like to people watch, I know, not the best place to do that. But everyone speads out so much you need binoculars. For all the nudists, You should take some anyway to keep an eye on the rangers. . I wish I could get my wife to join me........Not going to happen!

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:06/20/2010 07:48:51Copy HTML Is there any thong friendly spot left on assateague that won't get you a fine? I just saw that they had changed the indecent exposure law in the one post and was wondering if anybody knew any spot on assateague that you could still thong with out a problem.

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:06/20/2010 11:30:07Copy HTML Was just there Wednesday and Thurday of this week. Thonging is allowed on the island. Review Natonal and State indecent exp laws. I was under the impression that anything goes except display of genetals. I could be wrong.....was also there 2 weeks ago and saw many G-strings, thongs and nudes. You do have to walk a bit north for that environment. But well worth it. I myself was nude for most of the day. You have keep a sharp eye for the pesky rangers. I would suggest a pair of binoculars and bug repellant....Have fun

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:07/19/2010 07:44:32Copy HTML I know this post is talks mostly about the state park at assateague. I usaully go to the 4x4 section in the national park. I wanted to let people know they open the beach on the 4x4 section after km marker 23.
I had been closed for the last couple of weeks due to bird nesting. Now there is miles of open beach again. Was there today. I was great to have that open again. Have fun!!! |

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:08/08/2010 05:30:13Copy HTML I can confirm that the north end is totally re-opened....Had a wonderful time on Sat the 7th.....huge crowd....or so you might believe....the State day parking lot was totally fun...(wife and I were the last ones allowed in until others left)....but the north end had plenty of open space. Many nudist couples discreetly enjoying the day. My wife wore her red Wicked Weasel and once again looked stunning. Nice sea breeze all day that kicked up a pounding surf that made any kind of swimming very adventurous but otherwise totally refreshing....and no black biting flies....yes! Enjoyed the company of a very polite and interesting nudist couple as well.....A perfect day.

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:08/09/2010 09:06:00Copy HTML Leaving to go to the beach tonight. Staying outside of OC and will be going to Assateague everyday this week. Wife and I have both packed thongs. Don't know if we'll be able to wear them since we'll have our daughters with us. Just trying to talk my wife into wearing a normal bikini in front of them.

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:08/10/2010 02:11:41Copy HTML I think the daughters will not care what you wear. Even if they are teens they won't care, unless they are young teens and their school friends are around.

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:08/15/2010 12:23:59Copy HTML We only made it out to Assateague on Tuesday and Wednesday. It rained on Thursday and we were leaving on Friday so we had to pack up. We set up about a mile up the beach north from the guarded beach. Both days we were surrounded by a YMCA camp group that was camping out there. We did have one of my oldest daughter's friends there one day so laying out with out thongs probably won't have been a good idea. The plan was to try it out on Thursday, but the weather screwed us up.
Didn't see any thongs on either day but did see a man walking from back from the nude beach in a skimpy bikini and one laying out at the guarded beach in a boxcut suit. My daughters either didn't see them or didn't really care. I guess we'll have to see how next year goes. We probably won't get out there again this year. |

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:06/03/2011 10:19:28Copy HTML Can anyone give a location of the definitive laws concerning thongs on Assategue? I was out there on Tuesday and recieved 2 conflicting answers from locals. The perv in a full cut speedo told me as long as I was covered on the front I was fine. And then the guy who was laying naked behind a windscreen, and covering up anytime someone approached and alerting me that the Patrol was coming, said that thongs weren't ok. I'm more inclined to believe the discreet naked guy then the perv, and would like to see somewhere where it actually says thongs are ok, before recieving a ticket...

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:06/07/2011 09:57:45Copy HTML Let us know ctmonline. I will say that as I was walking around in a thong on the beach, what looked to be a couple ranger trucks drove by and didn't stop, or they might have been wildlife trucks... It was also the Tuesday after Memorial day on the far end of the beach and no one was really out there, so they may have just let it be since it didn't appear that I was engaging in any lewd activities... I'll also say the more "credible" information came from the nudist guy who's information, although said thongs were not ok, was probably more geared towards nudists. He did say they had undercover people on the beach, and had ticketed people and made arrests, although I think the arrests were more for people engaging in "lewd" behavior...
I couldn't find any information about thongs on Assateague online, I did find information on Sandy Point. And while it didn't say thongs were illegal or legal on Sandy Point, it did say you might be asked to cover up. So IMHO I'd go for it, and if a Ranger comes up to you, just reference that you thought they were OK based on the information about Sandy Point and just offer to cover up. |

Re:Assateague Island National Seashore (Just south of Ocean City, MD.) Date Posted:06/08/2011 04:54:12Copy HTML I got to Assateague once last year. I was passed by rangers twice but they did nothing, so I really don't think thongs are a problem. On the other hand, the beach thongers usually go to (about a mile north of the state park bathhouse) was almost empty of people -- but full of new signs advertising that nudity was illegal. This was on a weekday. Can anyone tell me how much the signs have deterred attendance? Nude, thong, or otherwise? If the signs have pretty much driven off the nudists, then I'm thinking I could just do my thing with a much shorter northward walk -- say, a few hundred yards beyond the state park boundary. (I am not interested in going nude.) If things are different on weekends, I'd like to know. Opinions, anyone?
