Tips for choosing the best area for your family

Downtown Hotels

Inlet through 28th Street

Downtown = The Famous Ocean City Boardwalk.  (Inlet through 28th St.)

If you haven’t seen or visited Ocean City’s award-winning Boardwalk, you won’t regret staying downtown where all the action is. First, there’s tons of nearby entertainment including arcades, amusement parks, roller coasters and haunted houses. Trimpers and Jolly Roger at the Pier are where all the boardwalk games and rides are concentrated.  There’s also classic Boardwalk fare from Thrasher’s Fries and Dumser’s ice cream to Fisher’s Popcorn, and restaurants including the Shenanigan’s and Harrison’s Harbor Watch. There are plenty of hotels, motels and apartments in the Downtown area of Ocean City that allow you to stay amid all the action and of course you get the beautiful Ocean City beach at your doorstep.

Midtown Hotels

Boardwalk to 61st Street

Quieter than Downtown with Convenient Access to Bars, Restaurants, Convention Center (Boardwalk to 61st Street)

Midtown hotels and motels offer quieter stays than their Downtown counterparts. Oftentimes, they have quicker access to the most bars and restaurants in Ocean City. Midtown is also near enough the Boardwalk for easy access by foot or bike, but distant enough that you only have to get caught up in it by choice. Additionally, the Convention Center on 40th Street, with its new Performing Arts Center, is the hub of a lot of activity in Ocean City, making midtown the ideal location for anyone attending events there.

If you don’t want the noise and activity of the Boardwalk but still want to be close to Seacrets, the Convention Center and other Ocean City hot spots, midtown is a great place to start your hotel search.

Beachfront Condos, Less Crowded Beach & Great for Families

Sometimes called “condo row” because of the many high-rises mixed in along the hotels and motels, Uptown tends to be quieter and is more family-oriented. The beach is calmer, but many of the attractions, dining and entertainment options require driving.  Northside Park, home to sports fields, free events, and the award-winning Winterfest of Lightsis found uptown. There, you’ll also find the Original Greene Turtle, Gold Coast Mall and many of the locals’ favorite hangouts. By gaining access to North Ocean City across the Route 90 bridge, you’ll alleviate some traffic woes by avoiding downtown Ocean City. Plus, you can always leave your car in the lot where there’s mostly free parking and take the bus downtown to visit the Boardwalk.  POPULAR PLACES TO STAY The Ashore Resort and Beach Club offers great dining and fabulous views of the ocean from their restaurant, the Tide Room.
