Every Day is Earth Day on Assateague, but Today We’re Doubling Down

We’ve always tried to do right by this place—from reusable packaging to eco-conscious retail—but this season, we’re going even further.

We’ve officially eliminated all plastic water bottles from our stores and rental stands. That’s roughly 6,000 fewer plastic bottles sold each year.

Thanks to our new partner, we’re now offering cold, canned water that’s infinitely recyclable and ocean-friendly.

A small switch, a big impact—especially in a place where wind and waves carry everything downstream.

Find Open Water at all Assateague Outfitters locations, and stay hydrated without the plastic.

This is so cool!

Here’s another pic from the deepest spot at the Verrazano (Assateague) Bridge. Around 25-30ft. This was shot last December when we had 2 weeks of really clean water. Can’t wait to get back out there this winter.
