Things to do in the Winter
Off-season activities and businesses open year-round in Ocean City, MD
Ocean City in the Off-Season
It may not be beach weather year-round, but you can still have a great time and enjoy Ocean City without the Summer crowds. It’s a great time for a quiet getaway when you just need a change of scenery from being stuck in the house. Stay at an ocean front hotel with an indoor pool, enjoy a nice meal of one of Ocean City’s restaurants, walk the beach & boardwalk, and catch the Festival of Lights in December. Check our recommended hotels for off-season stays.
