The polls are closed, the votes are tallied, and the people have spoken. This year’s competition saw just under 100,000 votes cast across more than 40 categories including best restaurants, activities, bars, and boardwalk businesses. COVID didn’t slow our voting down much, so please check out our winners and visit their businesses to get the best Ocean City has to offer. Below are the official winners of The Best of Ocean City® 2021 competition. This is the ONLY competition in Ocean City that has absolutely nothing to do with advertising or other schemes.  If you see a business on this list, it means that voters on Facebook and on OceanCity.com thought those businesses were the best!  We added a winner picked by a team of local residents and business owners to give visitors another option in most categories.  If there is no editorial winner, then it means that the businesses already listed as winners were so clearly the best, that there really wasn’t another option to give you. Click the business name for more information including the business’ location, phone number, directions and more. Also, don’t forget to vote in The Best of Ocean City® 2022 competition.
