Show Notes
Assateague Islands north end restricts access to protect nesting piping plovers, a federally threatened shorebird. Red hatching marks off-limits zones in the Maryland Oversand Vehicle area between km 21.8-22.8 and 23.5-24.5. Signs advise staying below the high tide line and leaving pets at home. Cape Henlopen State Parks The Point also closed for piping plovers, American oystercatchers, least terns, and red knots. These closures run through September to ensure chicks safe fledging. Plan beach days around signs to support these birds population growth.
