As one of the most popular ocean towns on the east coast, Ocean City is home to many fantastic attractions.


Nine miles of soft sand beaches greet anyone willing to take the short stroll down to and over the famous boardwalk.


From here, you can take in the scenery, enjoy the sun, or get active with a number of sports including swimming, boating, fishing, surfing, kayaking, or windsurfing. Or, visit one of the many charming communities in the surrounding area, like Ocean Pines.


And when you've worked up a sufficient appetite, you can enjoy one of the many restaurants, cafes, and bars that line the strip. Unsurprisingly, given the area's long maritime history, seafood is a particular local specialty. Crabs, clams, and your favorite variety of fish are all here - cooked to perfection!

Journey over to the inland coast of the peninsula, and you'll find yourself in a boater's paradise. Calm waters teeming with fish and a host of marinas from which to launch.
