Discover the fun of downtown Ocean City T his summer, take a stroll off OC’s great beach and check out downtown food, shopping and special events. Downtown Ocean City is the perfect vacation spot for all groups, from families to the over-21 crowd. Offering attractions for all ages and interests, such as amusements and museums, or parks and water activities, you can make Ocean City the vacation you desire. In addition to these attractions, there is a variety of hotels and restaurants, with a broad variety of styles and rates. Some of these establishments have served Ocean City visitors for generations, while others are quite new. There also are plenty of accommodations that are available for daily, weekly, seasonal or year-round rental.
Another big draw of the downtown area is its restaurants and don’t forget our famous Maryland blue crabs. Along with the eateries right on the Boardwalk, other popular options can be found along the bayside and streets of the downtown area of the resort. Whether you’re looking for a quiet crowd or a party crowd, you don’t have to look far. Retail stores are necessary in establishing a strong identity for a downtown area and Ocean City is no exception. While the Boardwalk businesses provide a multitude of retail goods to visitors, from sweets to graphic-tees, businesses off the Boardwalk offer more of a specialty character. The next time you are in the downtown area, make sure you pop in for some shopping. Here are several other reasons to visit downtown Ocean City, whether it’s during the off-season
or in the height of summer: Historic buildings, special events, parks and open spaces such as Somerset Plaza, the Inlet Park, Sunset Park and the Ocean Bowl Skate Park, the oldest public operating skate park in the country. In addition, there are amusements and arcades, the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum, Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum, water sports, fishing and bicycles and Segways. So the next time you are downtown, make sure you take advantage of the many things to do and see both on and off the Boardwalk.
