Here Is The Most Beautiful Place In Maryland, Conde Nast Says

Summer is synonymous with vacation and whether or not you have a family holiday planned already, the good news is you don’t have to travel outside of Maryland for a much-needed getaway.

Maryland is full of beautiful vacation destinations but there is one location that stands out. This month, Conde Nast Traveler says it did some digging and named the most beautiful place in every U.S. state.

“No state is the same, and each has its stars, the kind of sights that make you catch your breath and nearly veer off the highway,” Conde Nast writes. The magazine writes that the list “only scrapes the surface” of what the U.S. has to offer, so consider it as a starting point.

In Maryland, Conde Nast named Assateague Island the most beautiful place in the state, and is managed by three official park agencies. Visitors to Assateague Island National Seashore can enjoy the beach, wildlife, dunes, wetlands and marsh islands protected for public outdoor recreation use and enjoyment.

Assateague Island is a popular vacation destination within easy reach for many East Coast residents. Sightseeing cruises, kayak tours, crabbing, bird watching, fishing, hunting, biking and other activities continually make this a paradise for visitors who enjoy outdoor recreation. The island has over 37 miles of beach. The Assateague Lighthouse is on the way to the beach and it is one of the most famous in the nation.

You will find nearby amenities at Chincoteague Island and Ocean City such as seafood restaurants and lodging in the form of hotels, cottages, beach houses, campgrounds and bed & breakfasts.
