OCEAN CITY 'SEE AND DO'

Many golfers enjoy playing courses where area wildlife makes an occasional appearance. The most famous wildlife in the Ocean City area are the wild ponies. No, they won't invade the course -- they're confined to two barrier islands just to the south, Assateague and Chincoteague. Each summer a herd of ponies swims from native Chincoteague to a new home on Assateague. Visitors are welcome to watch the swim, and can view the ponies year round at the Assateague Island National Seashore. But don't try to feed them -- it's against the law, and they bite. For golfers who are nature lovers or with a family, a side trip to Assateague would be most enjoyable. Baseball fans can take in a Delmarva Shorebirds game (Class A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles). Museums, including Wheels of Yesterday -- old and antique cars and related memorabilia -- and the Fenwick Island Lighthouse will please history buffs. And if you're visiting in winter, you won't be able to miss Ocean City's most visible "attraction",  Winterfest of Lights. This spectacular display utilizes 750,000 lights to make up hundreds of light structures befitting a seaside resort and includes surfing Santas, animated sharks, and many more. Mid-November through January each year. Enjoy!
