Show Notes
Assateague Islands North End and interior beaches, along with specific Maryland Over Sand Vehicle zones, are closed from April 2, 2026, to protect nesting shorebirds, including the endangered piping plover. These closures, which stretch from ocean high tide to bayside high tide, are crucial to safeguard fragile nests from human disturbance. Violators face federal penalties. The closures will remain in effect until the breeding season ends, with updates as needed.
