June Sand Castle Runners Up In 50 words or less, explain why you love Ocean City. We love the beach and the variety of activities available. There have been ‘must dos’ as traditions over the years, but our activities have evolved as the kids have gotten older and their interests have expanded. Ocean City offers everything for a fun and relaxing family vacation! We love that the Schlappich Family loves Ocean City as much as we do!
