10 Miles of Free Sandy Beaches! 3 Miles of Boardwalk!
Ocean City, Maryland boasts a stunning 10-mile stretch of pristine Atlantic coastline. This expansive smooth sandy beach is the town’s heart and soul.
The sand and water are equally beautiful along the entire beach, but you’ll find differences with what is on the land in each area and the crowds. Downtown beaches are the busiest, because of the boardwalk and the high concentration of lodging options. The crowds on the beach spread out as you head north and you will find more condos to rent.
Ocean City MD beaches cater to families of all ages. Children will have a blast splashing in the shallows, building sand masterpieces, and exploring the tidal pools. Numerous events and activities take place on the beach throughout the summer, from movie nights and bonfires to spectacular fireworks displays, creating unforgettable memories for the whole family.
The downtown area (southern end) attracts a much larger crowd and is a little more lively.
The midtown area is less crowded and has its own charm:
