Return to Attractions
Right next door to the Driftwood is the Oyster and Maritime Museum. The museum provides interesting insights into island history and into the oyster and seafood businesses which were at one time major industries on Chincoteague. The Oyster Museum is also home of the First Order Fresnel Lens from the Assateague Lighthouse

Enjoy an afternoon or evening cruise along the Chincoteague Channel on one of the island's many tour boats, or rent your own boat just off Main Street.  Afterwards, visit one of our fine restaurants on the waterfront, along Main Street, or closer to the Driftwood along Maddox Boulevard for seafood or just about anything that suits your fancy. And on late spring or summer evenings, you can enjoy music at a number of locations along Main Street or ice cream at Mullers Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor or at Mr. Whippy's.
 
For your leisure hours, you'll find a great variety of shops at numerous locations around the island. Well-known wildlife artists and craftsmen maintain galleries on Main Street and Maddox Boulevard, and fine works from the island's decoy carvers are available in a number of shops.
  The children will certainly enjoy minigolf, the touch tanks at the Island Aquarium, or the playground in Memorial Park opposite Assateague Island. And for the older kids, crabbing or fishing at one of the town docks or along Assateague Channel has always been a popular diversion. Finally, for the more adventurous, kayaking, deep-sea fishing, parasailing and diving are all available during the warmer months
