Assateague Island - Page 2

Although the campsite was idyllic, we weren't up for a whole week of 36C temperatures and a west wind that blew all the mosquitoes from the wetlands out onto the dunes! Half way through we packed up the tent and got a room in a little motel complex of charming, white weatherboard cabins just over the bridge on the mainland and 'commuted' to the beach.

On the last night we joined some local longboarders for a final surf, just as the sun went down, then lit a fire and had dinner on the beach as the hot weather broke with a big thunderstorm broke. We watched the surf break in the lightning flashes and had just packed up when the torrential, warm rain started.
