Ocean City Beach
Ocean City, a family-friendly barrier island with sugar-white sand, welcomes guests with almost eight miles of clean beaches. Ocean City's beaches, which are technically separated into many beaches (similar to Cape May), include Waverly Boulevard, Seventh Street, 16th Street, and St. Charles Place, among others. The most popular length of the sparkling beach is bordered by a dramatic, postcard-perfect boardwalk that takes visitors through over two and a half miles of breathtaking landscape.
While numerous beaches are monitored from 10 a.m to 5:30 p.m from Memorial Day to Sunfest Weekend (typically the third weekend following Labor Day), just a few allow surfing: Waverly Boulevard, Seventh Street, 16th Street, and beaches south of 36th Street where "lifeguard stands are three blocks apart". Kids will enjoy all of the fun activities Ocean City has to offer, such as water and amusement parks, miniature golf courses, and concerts at the Ocean City Music Pier.
