Free admission to national seashore, Monday

Monday marks the second of 10 fee-free days on the Maryland side of the Assateague Island National Seashore for 2017, granting everyone a stone’s throw, or farther, away unfettered access to miles of shoreline, trails and more to explore.

“You’ll have the beach all to yourself, which is kind of wonderful and addicting,” park spokeswoman Liz Davis said. “Right now, we have a skinny staff so there aren’t any official programs.”

The visitor center will be open, Davis said, offering a couple of free movies about the park, but the rest is up to the visitors themselves.

Beachcombing, she said, might be more fruitful than during the summer months, because there is much less competition for prized shells, driftwood or sea glass.

Would be less crowded if they didn't advertise it so heavily.
