Ocean City
On the very tip of a big islet that extends down the coast between the Isle of Wight Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, Ocean City is a town brimming with attractions. There are more than 200 eateries offering almost every type of food. After a day of shopping and visiting all the neighborhood establishments that provide entertaining services for the entire family, visitors enjoy strolling along the boardwalk and relaxing at the 10 kilometers of free beach. Visitors enjoy playing golf on immaculate courses, spending the day at the Jolly Roger Amusement Park, renting boats or taking tours on the ocean to go swimming, diving, and fishing, as well as taking part in all the important events that take place throughout the year.
Ocean City, which specializes in the traditional American beach holiday, is both inexpensive and family-friendly. You can find extensive expanses of powdery beach, mouthwatering blue crabs, thrilling amusement park attractions, and a ton of gift stores if you stroll along the Boardwalk. As families enjoy the beach, adventurous sunbathers parasail across the water, and kids play in the arcades at Ripley's Ocean City, bright carnival ride lights glitter.
