My kids love the rides and food. Our favorite time is walking the boardwalk after the sun has gone done and its still warm out. More

This looks more like a Full Time Resort Area, and Clubs, Amusements , and a Ton of Resturants to go to. I go to Wildwood Nj Every year, but Ocean City has alot more to do. The Beaches Are Very Beautiful and plenty of places to choose from to stay at. More

Just got back from a weekend in Ocean City, Maryland. I was there for the wedding of a family member. Unfortunatly it was "Cruise Weekend" in Ocean City. Between the noise, traffic, public drunkinness, and the contstant smell of burnt rubber it was terrible.

The beach itself is large. You can sit on the Boardwalk and watch the waves come in, play in the sand, or swim in the ocean. It is all there. There are shops and eateries along the Boardwalk. More

The beach at Ocean City has never disappointed me...even when it is rather crowded it's still nice. This past visit from May 13th to the 17th although early in the season was as beautiful and breathtaking as always. Just watching and hearing the waves hit the shore is absolutely soothing and love to sit for hours just watching and listening. More

I like to swim when I'm at the beach but the waves were so big I was hesitant to go in lol It's a nice beach though, lots of people around. & if you want to get picture key chains they always seem to have people walking around for that. More

Have been going to this beach for 60 years, there's no place like it on this part of the East Coast. Every year we go it looks better. They are really keeping it up. Boardwalk is great also. What more could you want for a vacation. Seems like heaven! You might want to try Assateague Island Beach while there. It... More
