The Winter Boardwalk
The Ocean City Boardwalk is open all year long! Some businesses keep their door open every day, some just on weekends, some just open when the weather is decent. No matter which businesses are open, you can always walk the Boardwalk, getting some fresh air and exercise. Just bring your hat and gloves instead of flip flops and sunscreen!
