Great Egging Beach is a sandy shoreline on the mainland side of Sinepuxent Bay, near the Old Ferry Landing area within Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland. It serves as a launch point for paddling into the Sinepuxent Bay and Chincoteague Bay complex. Access is typically from Old Ferry Landing, where paddlers can stage gear, though the beach itself is a scenic stretch of light gray sand formed from tidal shoals. The area is characterized by significant wind exposure, which is the primary factor for paddlers. Wind direction dictates water levels more than tides, with west winds piling water onto Assateague Island and east winds pushing water onto the mainland, creating shallow conditions. A specific trip report mentions launching at low tide with an east wind, resulting in a short section of dragging and pushing the kayak before reaching deeper water past the tip of the beach.

The paddling experience centers on open bay conditions that can feature gentle swells or become riddled with white caps. It is an area suited for self-sufficient paddlers comfortable with wind and potential shallow water route-finding. A key destination from Great Egging Beach is the nearby Great Egging Island and, further out, Bird Island (formally South Point Spoils), which is approximately two miles into the bay. Bird Island hosts a significant bird colony, including brown pelicans, but is closed to landing; paddlers should stay at least 40 feet offshore to avoid disturbing wildlife. The broader Sinepuxent Bay Wildlife Management Area, created from dredge spoil islands in the 1930s, offers exploration. Backcountry camping is available on Assateague Island via permit. Facilities are limited; Old Ferry Landing has parking and is a known put-in, but there is no mention of specific amenities like restrooms or freshwater at the beach itself. Paddlers must pay a National Park entry fee and, for overnight trips, a backcountry permit fee.
