Review & FAQ:

Ocean City, MD is arguably one of the best beaches in the United States. The beautiful beach is home to 10 fantastic miles of finely maintained sand and is perfect for family-friendly fun like easy swimming, kayaking, and canoeing.

Ocean City is also a great place to enjoy surfing and fishing in addition to other free activities like publicly screened movies, live music, and fireworks.

Just off the beach is a three-mile boardwalk, which is home to great stores, several arcades, and amusement centers. Meanwhile, the boardwalk is also great for a refreshing bike ride.
