"Kite & Airborne Devices Flying: Use of kites, model planes, drones or any other airborne device above or within 100 yards of any area designated by signs as a “Closed – Bird Nesting Area”, or in lifeguarded beaches, is prohibited. Kites and other airborne devices disturb breeding birds because adult birds view them as birds of prey: This may cause the adult to flee the area, leaving nests exposed and unprotected from the environmental and predator threats. Kite and airborne device flying presents undue hazards to other visitors in crowded lifeguarded beach areas.
Kite Surfing is authorized at the following locations and during the following times:
1) From October 1 through March 15
(a) OCEANSIDE: All waters open
(b) BAYSIDE: All waters open
2) From March 16 through September 30
(c) BAYSIDE: Open from Verrazano Bridge to 1 mile south of Bayside Peninsula (Bayside Rd Picnic Area). The southern limit of this use area is located approximately 150 yards north of Lumber Marsh Island.
(d) OCEANSIDE: Open from the south boundary of Assateague State Park south to the area in the OSV zone know as the “Bullpen” (@KM 21.5) except for the National Park lifeguard protected beach areas (memorial day to labor day) and the OSV zone when closed."
"The maximum number of motor vehicles that are allowed in the Maryland OSV zone at any one time is 145. The maximum number of motor vehicles that are allowed in the Virginia OSV zone at any one time is 48 (18 maximum when the hook is closed due to bird nesting). This limit is based on approximately 12 vehicles per mile to provide for the visitors’ enjoyment, while protecting the fragile resources of the barrier island.
" Beach parties of more than 12 persons are prohibited in the Maryland Developed Area except where allowed by permit in the designated beach party area north of the Maryland lifeguarded beach area. Permitted groups are limited to a maximum of 100 people per site. These restrictions are in place for reasons of visitor safety, avoidance of conflict between visitor use activities, and protection of natural resources."
" All active bird breeding colonies are closed to public entry. Bird breeding areas are closed to public entry during the breeding season to prevent the loss of eggs and chicks through disturbance or destruction by persons, vehicles, and pets. Visitors, pets, and vehicles entering a breeding area cause the parent birds to leave their nests or chicks to avoid contact with the threat, or to lure the threat away from their young. When the adults stop tending to the eggs or young, the offspring are injured or killed by exposure to high temperatures, blowing sand, and predators. Additionally, eggs and chicks are camouflaged to avoid detection making them susceptible to being crushed by pedestrians or vehicles."
