Photo Friday Contest Winner August 20th 2026

Congratulations to Brittany Preston for this great picture of this tiny beach explorer on a very important mission, splashing along the shallow waters of the ocean without a care in the world! Congratulations Brittany!

Thank you to everyone who shared photos from your Ocean City vacations this week! We’ve loved seeing families building sandcastles, playing mini golf, eating ice cream on the Boardwalk, enjoying the rides—and even making the most of the rain, the storms, the seagulls, and Santa!

Ocean City is about so much more than a trip to the beach. It’s about families, children, couples, and friends. It’s about first visits and final visits, creating new memories while holding on to the old ones.

The time you spend here gives you a chance to leave the everyday routine behind and enjoy a week of carefree fun. For a little while, the schedules and responsibilities can wait. There are waves to jump, rides to ride, ice cream to eat, and memories to make.

And long after the sand has been washed away and the suitcases are unpacked, those Ocean City memories have a way of staying with us.

Thank you for sharing a little piece of your vacation—and your memories—with all of us. ❤️
