The Best of Ocean City®

Restaurants, Bars, Activities, and the Best of the Boardwalk

2022 Winners Announced! Click here to vote for 2023!

The polls are closed, the votes are tallied, and the people have spoken for the 12th year in a row! This year’s competition covered more than 42 polls in four broad categories: best restaurants, activities, bars, and best of the boardwalk. Check out the winners and visit their businesses to get the best Ocean City has to offer. This is the ONLY competition in Ocean City that has absolutely nothing to do with advertising or other schemes. If you see a business on this list, it means that voters on Facebook and on OceanCity.com thought those businesses were the best! OceanCity.com formed a team of local residents and business owners to choose another winner in most of the polls to give visitors another option in most categories.  It is this group of 75 Ocean City businesses that earned bragging rights as being the very best in Ocean City at what they do.  They will receive the 2022 Best of OceanCity® photo award plaque and can proudly display it in their businesses.

The Best of Ocean City® Winners were just announced. Discover the Best of Ocean City® in over 40 different categories!

YOU determine who wins so please vote in as many categories as you like.
