A WEEK IN REVIEW OF OCEAN CITY PICTURES - Week 50 of 2024
Christmas wreaths on OC Boardwalk archway
Let’s look at several pictures taken in Ocean City, Maryland over the past week between December 7h thru December 13th. With the Christmas season now here, we definitely experienced a variety of weather this past week ranging from sun, rain, fog, wind and even some icing on the OC Boardwalk.
Special events
Christmas light displays
Ocean City’s largest special event in the off season, Winterfest of Lights continues to December 31st at Northside Park.

This past week we highlighted some of the downtown light displays including the boardwalk archway, Route 50 Bridge area lights, and the light displays in the inlet parking lot. All are free to see!

Pictures around Ocean City
Foggy boardwalk
The Ocean City boardwalk always provides great picture opportunities in the current off season as much as it does in the more popular summer months.

Always heartwarming are the seasonal decorations placed on the memorial boardwalk benches by loved ones. Let’s highlight another this week which is located on the Boardwalk between Somerset and Dorchester Streets.

We like to highlight some of the downtown district side streets. This week we selected a picture of 8th Street from Baltimore Avenue looking towards the boardwalk.

Sand cliffs on downtown beaches this past week
The strong wave and wind action this week created some significant sand cliffs on the downtown beaches this week. One of our Oceancity.com readers referred to these as SCARPs, a term that I was not familiar with, but will be in the future. It is a term meaning “very steep bank or slope.”
Sunrises in Ocean City
A staple of Ocean City are its great sunrise pictures. Here’s two pictures taken this week.

Ocean City Sunsets
This week presented many great chances for eye-catching sunsets. Here’s just two of them. One by the Cambria Hotel bayside boardwalk. This picture was taken at the “Let’s Get Lit” craft beer festival held last Saturday at the Cambria Hotel through Shorecraftbeer.com. Another successful craft beer festival.

The other was on the Ocean City bayside at 25th Street.
