The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in Ocean City, Maryland (MD)

September 22, 2021 Renato Branum

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.

Reviewed By JerseyGirl08079

As a retired library supervisor it is always nice to step into other library world's. The Ocean City Library is an amazing world to visit ( as mine was a small town traditional). The administration keeps it's finger on the pulse of the future from print titles, digital magazines, to video crafts and classes and a full calendar of interesting events. I am also amazed that they've discontinued fines to encourage more use of their offerings. The O C Library has opened a whole new world.

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.
