things to do in Chincoteague. We hope that you will fall in love with our Island, the way so many others already have.
Chincoteague Island gained national fame in 1961 when Twentieth Century Fox premiered the movie “Misty of Chincoteague”. The movie was based on author Marguerite Henry's
award-winning children's book Misty of Chincoteague, published in 1947. The book and movie helped to forever transition Chincoteague Island from a small
fishing village into a world-class tourist destination.
