Ocean City

Pros: Beaches. Boardwalk. Outdoor activities. Numerous restaurants and accommodations.
Cons: Prices. Crowded in summer.

I recently visited Ocean City, Maryland and was surprised at how much there was to do, even in the off season! Ocean City is located along the Atlantic Coast, about 2 hours east of Washington DC. The island is highly urbanized and is not a quiet resort ...

Pros: Has everything a family could want. Great off season deals.
Cons: Very crowded in the summer demanding high rates.

I've been to Ocean City Maryland three times. Once in the late fall just before winter set in. Once for a showcase in the summer, and most recently, last week, I was there vacationing a few days with my wife. Each season presented it's own feel. ...

I've been to Ocean City so many times that I could probably write an encyclopedia on the place. I could spend hours reminiscing over past trips I've taken to Ocean City. But don't worry because I won't do that today. But, in four words I can tell you ...

Review Topic:  Overview

Ocean City Maryland tries to be all things to all people. It's a formula that usually fails. But in this case they've done a reasonably good job of it. Unfortunately they don't advertise it well.

Pros: Lots of high school girls in bikinis,
Cons: Overdeveloped, too many youngsters for a family vacation
