Discover fun, food, shopping and events of downtown OC
O
cean City is a special place at any time of year, but in summer it explodes with excitement. Take a walk or run along our beach and Boardwalk, shop on our city streets or discover all the adventures that await along the bayside. It’s the perfect place for family fun — offering great hotels, restaurants, rides, arcades, festivals and sporting events. All that is in addition to our main attraction, our gorgeous, FREE, soft, sandy beach and 2.5-mile Boardwalk. Whether you’re an early riser who
enjoys the quiet sunrise over the ocean each morning, or part of the late-night crowd looking for night life in a tropical setting, downtown is the place to be. Family-friendly activities abound. After a day of playing in the ocean and building sandcastles on the beach, children will marvel at the bright lights and sounds of the carnival rides that run throughout the afternoon and evening hours. Endless varieties of pizza, ice cream, French fries and other summer treats are available. You’re sure
to find the perfect T-shirt or souvenir while visiting the multitude of shops along the Boardwalk and side streets in Downtown. If your tastes are more of the gourmet variety, we have that covered too. Visit one of the many sit-down restaurants, offering many variations of seafood, steak, pasta and more. Don’t go home without sampling our famous Maryland blue crabs, steaming hot, coated with Old Bay, or a delicious crab cake prepared the Eastern Shore way. The Green Market, every Friday morning on S. 1st
Street brings fresh local fruits, veggies and seafood to downtown for those who prefer healthier eating options even while on vacation. So much to see and do in such a short time — use the Boardwalk tram to help you get around. You can board the tram anywhere along the Boardwalk and take an enjoyable ride from the inlet to 27th Street, stopping anywhere along the way. Trams start running at noon and are available through the day and evening hours. Bike and surrey rentals are also availContinued to page 6
