. Clearly the ponies were the top draw to the island, but it was amusing to see how the NPS tried to de-emphasize them and point us toward the foliage and native animals.>
The last time I was there (a long time ago) the only animals I saw were nude bathers.My daughter got an eye full, she still laughs about it.There were NO signs.
Hmmm... We saw plenty of ponies. It was late May, 2009. Maybe they are harder to find other times. I have great pictures of ponies grazing on swamp grass.

The ponies are owned by Chincoteague fire company and the only control the govt has on them is to limit the size of the herd. There are fences and gates to keep them from sensitive areas.
In the early 80's, there was one nude beach, accessible by walking only. For years there has been a sign at the entrance to the beach area that nude bathing is prohibited in Accomack County.
