Best Western Plus Chincoteague Island

Chincoteague Island has a decent amount of hotels to choose from, all of them being a bit laid back and small in size compared to the resort style hotels in nearby Ocean City, MD. The Best Western Plus Chincoteague Island was our choice for our short weekend getaway, and it is a solid hotel all around.

The staff we interacted with were all very friendly. The grounds are very clean as was our room. We found our room to be quite spacious and the beds were comfortable. There was a sink both inside and outside of the bathroom, which is helpful for multiple people getting ready in the morning. The only negative we had was that the Wi-Fi connection was on the slow side.

There was a good amount of parking for guests and the pool area was nice. There are also tables outside where you can enjoy the breakfast or food you bring into the hotel. The location is perfect as it is right outside the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and it is the closest hotel to the beach. In addition, it's a short drive to any part of the island for shopping and dining.

Delmarva Discovery Center

We stopped at the Delmarva Discovery Center in Pocomoke City on the way home to Philadelphia from Chincoteague Island. This small facility offers a variety of different exhibits to guests ranging from a small aquarium tank to a NASA play center to an exhibit on Native Americans. For two adults, this wouldn't have been worth the price, as you can easily walk through everything in 30 minutes or less. However, for our 7-year niece, she found it to be quite a fun time. They offer scavenger hunts to keep the kids busy and interactive exhibits for children to touch and feel to learn hand on. Our niece definitely had a good time there.
