Best Things to Do on a Vacation in OCMD
Shorten Your Travel Time
One of the best things about visiting Ocean City, MD, in the summer, is the convenient location. Our beloved beach town is less than three hours from Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. Whether visiting for a weekend getaway or a week-long vacation, you can fit in many fun activities and delicious eats.
Attend an Event
Find a fun event every weekend in the summer. Watch the PBR Challenger Series at the Ocean City Inlet, featuring professional bull riders. Experience a heart-pounding air show with professional pilots and fighter planes. Watch a musical or concert at the Performing Arts Center or relax with Sundaes in the Park & Fireworks every Sunday at Northside Park.
Head to the Beach
We can all agree that the sound of waves and the sun’s warmth is incredibly relaxing. With almost 10 miles of beach, OCMD is the perfect place to decompress and unwind. Hang out at the beach and relax in your beach chair with a good book. Some days you can watch the surfers and might even be lucky to see porpoises swimming.
Take a Walk on the Historic Boardwalk
When you stay at the Grand Hotel, you’re steps away from the historic boardwalk in Ocean City, MD. If you’re an early riser, check out the sunset! Enjoy walking to the inlet, renting bikes, or running while breathing in the fresh, salty ocean air.
Grab Thrasher’s fries and caramel popcorn from Dolle’s for an afternoon snack after a morning of swimming in the ocean. Shop for souvenirs or admire the view from the inlet and watch the fishing boats come and go.
Plan a Fun Day of Activities
Indoor and outdoor mini-golf courses are located every few blocks in Ocean City, MD, and are so much fun for kids and adults. Take the kids to the inlet and hop on rides at Jolly Roger’s Amusement Park at the Pier, visit a museum like Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, or play arcade games at Marty’s Playland.
