With its 10 miles of clean, sandy beaches and beautiful views of both ocean and bay waters, Ocean City awaits your visit to our special family resort. Ocean City was founded in 1875 as a small fishing village, and over the years, it has made a gradual transformation into one of the most popular vacation destinations on the East Coast. Over the years, many families have become part of the Ocean City tradition, coming to see us year after year just as their parents and grandparents before, and we welcome them with open arms. As a child, my family brought me to our fine resort, and it was always the highlight of our year. I knew then, Ocean City, Maryland was a very special place as we played on the beach, rode the waves and laughed on the Boardwalk, making memories that have lasted for a lifetime.
Ocean City is a year-round resort celebrating events and festivals all throughout the calendar.
Our water sports and fishing have always been popular attractions, with hundreds of square miles of water to enjoy. Exciting amusement rides are there as well for the enjoyment of kids of all ages. Festivals and special holiday events are lined up throughout the year. Springfest kicks off May with four days of entertainment, food and family fun at the inlet lot. In September, we offer an abundance of events including the famous Sunfest celebration and Polkamotion.
