 Ocean
City is a favorite for family fun vacations. Families from all over the
East Coast come year after year for sun and surf in Maryland's only resort
beach town. Clean, sparkling sand and water provide free activities for
visitors of all ages; sunbathing, surfing, fishing, swimming. And off
of the beach, the town is animated with many diverse activities. Watersports
and activities are in abundance with jetski rentals, nature cruises, charter
fishing, and parasailing in our miles of bay and ocean waters.
Shopping is another favorite past time of Ocean City vacationers, as the
town boasts hundreds of specialty shops, craft stores, antique stores,
brand name outlets, and custom gifts not found elsewhere. All the latest
beach fashions can be purchased right here in local shops. Eating out
is the next special treat Ocean City offers, with more than 160 restaurants
offering every type of cuisine you could desire. Seafood is the most dominant,
often buffet style, and particularly Maryland crabs, steamed, fried and
broiled shrimp, scallops, lobster, mussels, oysters, crawdads, flounder,
rockfish, and much more.
Although
Ocean City thrives in the summertime from the 4th of July through Labor
Day, the "off-season" is also attractive to many, with its more
laid-back, subtle pace. Springfest and Sunfest bring tents bursting with
crafts, a smorgasboard of food, and live entertainment. Golf, fishing,
and cooler days are prominent features in the fall and spring. Ocean City
sparkles in the winter with the Winterfest of Lights for the holidays,
and the town is decorated from end to end. No matter what time of year
you need a break, Ocean City is the perfect getaway for all types of vacationers.
