Description:
Sinepuxtent Bay is a small quiet body of water bordering the western shore of Assateague Island. You can kayak past uninhabited islands and marshes. The best part is the wildlife. Asaateague is known for its wild horses. I guarantee that if you paddle along the entire shore of the bay you WILL see wild horses. There are also deer, fish, and many varieties of deer. One of the most relaxing day trips possible.

This is best for a day trip but tent camping is available along the ocean or the bay. Camping is $10-$20 a night. You can also do backcountry camping where you kayak or canoe to the campsite of your choice.

Before crossing the large bridge on route 611 there is a National Park Visitor Center on the right. Stop there to get maps or information. Even if you don't need maps the visitor center is very interesting and free.
