If you enjoy camping, a wonderful spot is Assateague Island, Maryland. The beach is absolutely beautiful, although you do have to be careful of rip-tides, which can pull you out before you know it. Our kids held hands for safety.
We also enjoyed watching the little clams wash in with each wave and quickly bury themselves back in the water.
The National Park there has a National Seashore Museum with hands-on activities for the kids.
They also have three trails: a Life of Dunes, Life of Marsh, and a Forest Trail. At the Seashore Museum they will give you little booklets on each of these trails and the trails are so nice my husband was able to push me in my wheelchair on them.
But, the most fantastic part is seeing the wild ponies, which just wander the whole island. We saw them on a dozen different occasions, including just wandering by our campsite! Although you cannot touch them, they are wonderful to see, living wild and free.
And we had the added bonus of a wild deer wandering into our campsite. He just walked right up to my son, Sam.

I love this island. It has been years since we have been there, but it really is magical.
I haven't been there in years as well - but I LOVED it there
