Are there public showers or changing stations along the beach/boardwalk area?

Comment on - Keep in mind that both Assateague State Park and Fenwick Island State Park charge an admission fee to use the park - this includes the shower and changing station.

Even though there is a fee, these are the only public changing stations that you will find.

The closest place to the Boardwalk where you can shower and change is Assateague Island but they charge a few dollars per person to do this and must be done beforethe park closes for the day but it's cheaper than a hotel and it is a hot shower.

I recommend that you use the beach at Assateague during the day and get your moneys worth than shower and head over to the boardwalk.
