Ocean City is one of Maryland's top resort towns, home to one of the United States' top 10 most beloved oceanfront boardwalks. The charming Atlantic Ocean city, which is located adjacent to the beautiful Isle of Wight Bay, is home to three miles of beautiful public beachfront and a lively boardwalk lined with eclectic shops, restaurants, and luxury hotels.

Visitors can enjoy high and mild thrills at boardwalk amusement parks like the historic Trimper's Rides or embark on excursions to nearby Assateague Island as part of tours offered by a variety of area companies.

Opportunities for outdoor recreation abound, including chances for swimming, surfing, boating, fishing, and kayaking throughout the warmer months. Each Tuesday evening, the family-friendly Family Beach Olympics event offers sandcastle contests, relay games, and tug-of-war battles for visitors of all ages to enjoy.
