Top 10 Shopping in Chincoteague Island, Virginia (VA)
Wild horses can actually drag you away…to Chincoteague Island. Here, ponies run wild, you can catch or dig up your own seafood, and the beaches bring literal breaths of fresh air. The Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge is a wonderfully unspoiled spot for bird watching, horseback riding, swimming and biking. Every summer since 1925, all of the feral ponies on Assateague are rounded up for the world-famous annual Pony Swim over to Chincoteague.

Blue Crab Treasures is truly a treasure! The shop carries a lot of unique, handmade items contributed by local artists, especially if you are looking for pony-themed original works, and other works featuring beach and nature themes are charming too. They carry a great t-shirt selection as well, featuring designs you won't find anywhere else. Also really appreciate the shop's commitment to safety and customer experience during this time (hand sanitizer is right by the door as you enter). You can find some handmade masks here unlike any others I've seen, with the emboridered horse and lighthouse motifs particularly beautiful. Many other fun designs to choose from too, and the mask display is placed just inside the entrance--can't miss it. Highly recommend paying Blue Crab Treasures a visit--you never know what you will find, and you are supporting a local business and local artisans with your purchases.

I recently stopped in on a trip through town. The store has an expensive collection of old and new books, art, and lots of local information. I spent a good amount of time just browsing the shelves and enjoying the space. Definitely a place to go if you are looking for a great book shop.
