Great place to sit and watch the world go by on 6th Street and Philadelphia Ave
Wilmington Lane at 10th street, one of the quieter lanes of Downtown Ocean City
The impressive City Hall on 3rd Street and Baltimore Avenue, built in 1915
There are some beautiful houses in the Downtown area.
Flowers in bloom on a Downtown lane.
The Ocean City Life-Saving Station, built in 1891. Interesting place to walk through too.
There's still evidence of old Ocean City if you look close enough. This building is on Wilmington Lane between 7th and 8th Street
Don't forget there's a Bayside!
Blossoms by the City Hall. The building was used by Worcester County as a school for children from Ocean City, and elementary levels used the school well into the 1960s.

The Inlet Indian. This monument, representing the Assateague Indian, was sculpted by Peter Toth in 1976
Impressive, well taken care of downtown homes
View of the Watch Tower, at the Ocean City Life Saving Station. The tower was erected in 1934-35 after the storm of 1933 cut the Inlet.
Some areas of downtown feel like the village Ocean City once was.
Love the flowers here on 12th street and Baltimore Avenue!
The Route 50 Draw Bridge. It's always fun to watch it go up to let the big boats through.
South Baltimore Avenue at Dorchester Street
By Sunset Park and as its name suggests, a great spot for watching the sun set.
Lots of care has gone into making this yard a delight to look at on Baltimore Ave. between 12th and 13th streets
Although strictly part of the Boardwalk, it's always a nice to change to stroll around the Inlet Village where there's a collections of shops and boutiques that overlook the Inlet, and great views of Assateague Island.
12th Street and Baltimore Avenue
Quite the foliage on this house on 11th Street!
Looking north up South Baltimore Avenue
Henry’s Hotel on South Division Street, the last surviving hotel to serve only African-American visitors, purchased in 1926 by Charles and Louisa Henry.
Cottage on St Louis Avenue
A walk over the Rt 50 Bridge - kids love it! Leave the car at the Park and Ride in West OceanCity and enjoy the day without the hassles, and expense, of parking!
