The white sand beaches of this windswept barrier island are a major score for worshippers of sun and sea. This 37-mile-long paradise straddles the Maryland-Virginia border and derives its name from the Native American word that translates to A Running Stream Between. The island is perhaps most famous for the wild horses that continue to roam the beaches since the late 17th century.Nineteen miles of wild shore are set aside for sunbathers, beachcombers, and hikers so that they can experience the island as it existed before colonization (and SUVs). Ocean swimmers and surfers will no doubt delight in the Atlantic's playful waves that lap the shore. If you've never surfed, this is a good place to learn. You don't have to worry about 30-foot Hawaiian tsunamis taking you on the last ride of your life. Surfcasters can expect blues and stripers to start biting in April. The kingfish and weakfish invasion begins in May. The battle of man versus fish continues throughout the summer and into autumn. Live bunker is the old-school bait of choice.
