Downtown Ocean City has everything Discover fun, food, shopping, events and entertainment in downtown OC Spring is a special time of year in Ocean City. The town starts to “wake up” and certain events like Crusin’ Ocean City and Springfest really jump start the season here at the beach. We invite you to a walk or run along our beach and Boardwalk, shop on our city streets or discover all the adventures that await along the bayside. Ocean City is the perfect place for family fun — offering great hotels, restaurants, rides, arcades, festivals and sporting events. All that is in addition to our main attraction, our
gorgeous, FREE, soft, sandy beach and 2.5-mile Boardwalk. Whether you’re an early riser who enjoys the quiet sunrise over the ocean each morning, or part of the late-night crowd looking for night life in a tropical setting, downtown is the place to be. Family-friendly activities abound. After a day of playing on the beach building sandcastles, children will marvel at the bright lights and sounds of the carnival rides that run throughout the afternoon and evening hours. Endless varieties of pizza, ice cream, french fries and other summer treats are available. You’re sure to find the perfect T-shirt or souvenir while visiting
the multitude of shops along the boardwalk and side streets in Downtown. If your tastes are more of the gourmet variety, we have that covered too. Visit one of the many sit-down restaurants, offering many variations of seafood, steak, pasta and more. Don’t go home without sampling our famous Maryland blue crabs, steaming hot, coated with Old Bay, or a delicious crab cake prepared the Eastern Shore way. The Boardwalk Tram starts operating this month. You can board the tram anywhere along the Continued on page 4
