10 Things to do in Ocean City That You Shouldn't Miss
In Ocean City, Maryland's only coastal community, the beach is the main attraction. Stroll the three-mile Boardwalk along the seafront while sampling salt water taffy and other old-fashioned treats. The summer season explodes with special concerts, beach bonfires and kids' activities. Nature enthusiasts will love nearby Assateague Island, home to deer and wild ponies. Once a tiny fishing village, it now spans 10 miles, but anglers still flock to the area waters; it's known as the White Marlin Capital of the World.

One of OC’s best outdoors attractions. Multiple softball fields, an indoor recreation center hosting several activities, and an outdoor walking track with several courses mapped out. The park also has a playground and a covered pavilion with BBQ grills. There are several other activities there as well. I saw where you could rent a kayak or standing paddle board. While you’re walking around the soccer field, don’t forget to take a look at the pier that goes very far out into the bay. My wife and I go walking here several times a month.

If you need a 30 minute break from the beach - this is a cool place to go poke around. I love the old Laughing Sal. She's from a by-gone era - but still a funny gal.

The thing I love about O.C. Boardwalk is....Everything! It's an undeniably fun, clean, and entertaining place to hang out all day. I visited for the winter holidays this time and the weather permitted many businesses to still be open. Arcades, Thrasher's Fries, Ripley's, swimming, relaxing, surfing, people watching, tram rides, amusement parks, restrooms, volleyball, shaved ice, restaurants, seafood, street performers, shopping and so much more...all on the boardwalk.

Took a walk out on the Pier to see what people were catching. Some people were surf casting for Spots I guess we didn’t see anything caught but it was windy and the views were great. We did see some Dolphins swimming. A nicely run Pier.

My wife and I did a tour and tasting this afternoon, and it was one of the most entertaining tours we have ever done. The distillery is a museum of antiques, and a manufacturing tour revealing the production methods of some delightful libations, all at the same time—topped off by some tasty samplings! The place is filled with thousands of dollars worth of marvelous Prohibition era antiques, all at the service of the production of some very fine rums, gins, vodkas and whiskeys. Our 5 p.m. tour guide was a gracious host and a font of wide-ranging details to satisfy curiosity. Especially you Ocean City "old hands": don’t miss this unique, hometown, treat!

We just returned from Frontier Town in Ocean City, MD. We were there from the 23rd of October to the 30th of October. The campground was packed on the day we arrived with all kinds of decorations for Halloween. The campground has a contest for campsite decorations along with costumes winners. The place is big and has a lot of things to do just in the campground. They have a camp store with ready to go food, Lazy River Saloon, a Creamery, General Store and activities for children. They are right on the water and they have a launch ramp for people with boats. Ocean City and Assateague Island are just minutes away. Great place to visit, plenty to do.

Every time we go "ride the rides" as my son would say the operators at Trimpers make the memory along with the rides. Some of the rides are very old school which i love, I remember riding the Snoopy airplanes and fairy whip as a child! They have hidden restrooms that could be cleaner but are no where near as busy as the boardwalk restrooms. The rides are run a lot longer than the Jolly Roger rides on the pier, the biggest part for me is the operators, 90% of the time they genuinely seem like they care that your child is having a great time unlike the Jolly Roger side where they all seem miserable. Ill make the 3.5 hour trip a couple times a year for my kiddos to go ride the Trimpers rides!
