After a rainy, dreary week, it appears we will see clear skies and mild temperatures here in Ocean City, Md this weekend. If you want to enjoy the beach before it gets too hot, or too crowded, this week is the perfect time for a spontaneous trip. For those of you that are coming to see us this weekend, here are some of the highlights of things to do:
– This weekend is the return of the 19th Annual Mako Tournament.

– Sharing Ocean City with the best fishermen from around the region this weekend will be some of the best surfers from around the country as the 15th Annual Longboard Team Challenge also returns this weekend.
