About this map

Assateague Island National Seashore dominates the eastern half of this coastal landscape, protecting a fragile stretch of beach and marshland including Great Egging Beach and Little Egging Beach. This maritime environment is defined by the intricate waterways separating the barrier island from the mainland necks, with Sinepuxent Bay and Chincoteague Bay serving as the primary basins. The landforms here are a complex network of marshes and small landmasses like Tingles Island, Crow Tump, and Lumber Marsh Island.

Mainland development in Worcester County clusters along the western shore of the bay, particularly near Lower Sinepuxent Neck where roads like S Point Rd and Newport Bay Dr provide access to the waterfront. The Verrazano Brg serves as the critical transit link to the seashore, while further south, the landscape reverts to more remote tidal features such as Buntings Gut and the narrow passage of Tingles Narrows.
