When I lived in southern NJ, I used to love to drive down for a weekend to the Chincoteaque, VA/Assateague area on the coast. Chincoteague is a good starting point for getting a hotel and a place to eat, because fortunately, Assateague is almost entirely 'park land.' It's a great place for birding and light hiking, and yes, every now and then you will see wild horses in the woods. One horse came right up to my car and we gave him an apple (which he ate very quickly!).

truly majestic island where u can stay for the day or the week with wild horses, deer and fox runing around, beautiful beach with four wheel drive access with great surf fishing, beautiful marshes to watch canadian geese and all different types of ducks landing on the water..

I haven't been to Assateague since I was a kid, but I loved going there to see the wild ponies. Every year the local fire department has the ponies swim across the channel to auction off some of the ponies to control herd size and raise money.
