Love is in the salty beach air: A guide to Valentine’s Day in Ocean City

There’s no place that says “romance” quite like a quiet winter beach. Loving long walks on the beach, and listing off that love on your dating profile, is a total cliche, but vacations are all about embracing the cliches.

Who doesn’t love long walks on the beach? Couple that with a bargain of a hotel room, or a candlelit dinner, or a horse and carriage ride complete with chocolate and champagne, or all of the above, and you’ve got the dream of a Valentine’s Day getaway. Maybe it’s all cliche, but who cares? Love is in the salty beach air, and in Ocean City, Valentine’s dreams come true.

Here are  Valentine’s Day hotel packages, restaurants, and things to do, all to be shared with the one you love.

Where to go for Valentine’s Day in Ocean City

Ocean City is not necessarily a town that’s known for its fine dining, but it really probably should be. The town is not all sports bars and surf-themed taquerias all the time (although if that’s what you and your sweetheart are into, don’t hesitate to reach for a burger and a beer on V-day weekend and pour ketchup on your fries in the shape of a heart). On our restaurants page you will find an exhaustive list of every restaurant in Ocean City, from casual dining to pizza, but for easier-access, here are some of the more romantic options that are open in February:

Things to do on your romantic Valentine’s Day weekend

1. Take a romantic stroll along the beach, if weather allows.

As busy as the beach gets in February!

Most Boardwalk businesses will be closed unless the weather is really nice, but you can still walk up and down the beach and boards. It’s extra romantic to stroll along the shoreline collecting seashells when you don’t see a single other person in your line of sight; only seagulls. Take in the salty ocean air, and even bring your four-legged friends along. They’re allowed on the beach until April 30.

And in case weather doesn’t allow…

2. See a movie.

A night out at Flagship Cinema

Head over to Flagship Cinemas in West Ocean City for their deluxe heated seats and enjoy the latest offerings from Hollywood. Their Pig and Whistle bar means you can enjoy an adult beverage before the movie starts.

5. Trapped Escape Room

trapped escape room

What could be more romantic than being trapped in a room with the one you love?? Well, it certainly can be great fun to work together to solve a problem! Visit Trapped Escape Room on 118th Street and find out how well you work together! 

4. Pamper yourself at the spa.

This idea is great, because it can apply if you’re in a relationship and opt for a couples massage, or it can be just as (if not more) enjoyable on your own. If you are staying at the Princess Royale Hotel – or even if you aren’t – The Creative Day Spa can pamper you or your loved one for Valentine’s Day. If you don’t like the idea of a massage, you can always sit yourself down by an indoor pool and just ….. relax!

5. Burley Oak’s Valentine’s Market 

Burley Oak Valentines DayShop and support local for all your Valentine’s Day gifts at Burley Oak! Local vendors will be on hand selling handcrafted goods that make a perfect gift for that someone special.

6. Enjoy the local entertainment.
