Snug Harbor Marina And Resort, Chincoteague

Snug Harbor Marina And Resort offers a private kayak ramp for direct water access and an on-site rental fleet that includes Carolina Skiffs, canoes, and kayaks. Guests can join guided eco tours led by experienced naturalists that focus on local wildlife and landscapes. A personalized kayak drop-off service is available, and the property provides an electric vehicle charging station.

The resort provides waterfront cottages with views of the Assateague channel and lighthouse. The two-bedroom cabin includes a dining area, living room, kitchen, and a large wooden deck facing the bay. All guest rooms have a seating area, flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and a coffee machine, and some rooms include a terrace.

From the deck, guests can watch wild Chincoteague ponies roaming on Assateague Island across the channel. The property is situated 23 km from Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport and within walking distance of the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. The Museum of Chincoteague and Assateague Island National Seashore are a short drive away.

Captain John, who has been navigating waters around Chincoteague since age 7, leads small-group pontoon boat tours that visit ponies, dolphins, and bald eagles. Basia offers guided kayak tours tailored to wildlife sightings, including close-up views of the ponies. The resort also provides bicycle rentals, and guests can fish off the pier or use the outdoor fireplace and BBQ facilities.

The resort is family-owned and operated by three generations. Pets are allowed in the cabins, and the property offers a picnic area, sun terrace, and outdoor furniture. A concierge service and tour desk help families book activities, and the proximity to the beach and wildlife makes it a suitable base for children.
