Chincoteague Island is also home to more than twenty hotels – half are spectacular waterfront, with well over a thousand rooms to offer – in addition to condos, bed & breakfasts and bayfront campgrounds… and The Chincoteague Center is centrally located within walking distance of many. The island’s beautiful downtown district hosts a multitude of shops, seafood restaurants and art studios – and its close proximity to the NASA Wallops Flight Facility, The Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, NOAA and the national wildlife refuge make it a very unique event destination. Add in wild ponies, boating, biking, fishing and rocket launches and you’ve got one unforgettable setting, all within 3.5 hours of the Washington DC / Baltimore area and within 2 hours of Norfolk International Airport.  Make The Chincoteague Center the venue for your next special event!
