There are currently nine beautiful golf courses within a few miles of Ocean City, all designed to be both challenging to the player while highlighting the beauty of the local landscape. For the general sports enthusiast, there are a variety of activities to keep fit and have fun. Tennis courts, racquetball courts, basketball courts, volleyball courts and a skateboard park are located at a variety of public parks throughout town. Crabbing There is no more enduring a symbol of Maryland than the blue crab, and few things in life are more satisfying than sitting down to eat a pile of steamy, spicy, self-caught crabs. Crab season is April 1-December 31.
Minimum lengths are subject to change.
Parks and Recration Inlet Park Inlet Park, located on the southern-most end of Ocean City, boasts a newly constructed boardwalk complete with viewing binoculars and informative signs overlooking Assateague Island. The first link of a future bayside boardwalk is marked by the presence of a large Indian structure and is home to Ocean City's marble-topped time capsule. Dorchester Volleyball Park Grab a partner and have a ball at the Beach Volleyball Park located between Dorchester and Talbot Streets off the Boardwalk. Eight public courts are available for pick up play during summer daylight hours and two courts are lighted for evening play. Other public nets can be found scattered up and down the beach.
