Hi Everyone:
Back in January I requested some info on accommodations and everyone was so helpful! Thank you for that. We have found a place for the 10 of us but now I have another question. My husband and I are flying in to Salisbury Airport at 9:00 am but we cannot get into the condo until 3:00 pm. The rest of my family are driving down from NY and are not due in until at least 2:00 p.m. Can someone suggest something to do during that time period so my husband doesn't go nuts and are there some sort of shuttles that take travellers around or would a cab be our best bet. Thanks so much - we are soooooo looking forward to spending time in your wonderful city!
Do what we always do, go swimming, have lunch or hit the beach. Hotels or a condos will give you your parking pass so you can park the car and most will take your cell number and call when the room is ready also.
OC is very easy to navigate from place to place, so you could drive around, get a feel of the place, look for spots to eat or stop at a Sunsation to shop for your beach needs.
Also, head up to the boardwalk catch breakfast and take in the views from the boardwalk while its not as busy yet.

How much will it cost to take a taxi from Salisbury Airport to Ocean City? Are there any free shuttles which can carry one from the airport to Ocean City?
There is a Bayrunner Shuttle that runs from Salisbury Airport to the West Ocean City Park and Ride. It is not free, but the shuttle from the Park and Ride into Ocean City is free.

What time do the shops on the boardwalk open?
The shops mostly open between 8am and 10am. Only a few are open at 8am, but pretty much all of them are open by 10am. Most of them stay open until around 11pm or midnight.
Have fun in OC!

Hi, I was trying to plan a trip down and im wondering how long the fireworks even last, and what streets you can see them. Please get back to me ASAP thanks SO much.
If you mean the fireworks on the 4th of July the show starts at 9:30 and runs about 45 minutes to an hour. It is held at 2 locations. At the south end of town the fireworks are set off right near the pier. They can be seen throughout the south end of town, but the best location is on the beach south of about 12th Street. There is also a display of the same duration at the same time at the north end of town at Northside Park over the bay. These are best from the park, but there are still great views from the Delware line to about 110th Street.
There are also fireworks planned for every Tuesday night from 29 May to 28 August at 10pm at North Division Street. The duration has not been announced, but I'd guess about 10 minute shows. More info can be found here.
There will also be laser shows this summer at North Division Street on the beach every Sunday from 27 May 27 to 2 September 2. Each show is approximately 8 minutes in length beginning at 9:30pm, 10:00pm and 10:30pm. More info can be found here.
All of these events are free! Have a great time in OC this summer!

How far is it from baltimore to ocean city?
As everyone said about 3 hours, but if you are coming on a weekend allow more time. I try to avoid getting to the Bay Bridge after 3pm on Friday or after 10am on Saturday. For the return trip I try to avoid leaving OC after 9am on Saqturday or between 5 aqnd 8pm on Sunday.
The best way to go is to take the best route for you to the Bay Bridge and after crossing the Bay Bridge just stay on Route 50 all the way to OC!
Have a great trip!

Running at Northside Park, 2 questions...
1. Is there free parking at the park (I would like to drive there from our hotel)?
2. Is there a running track? trails? path?
TY!
Although there is not a track, Northside Park is a beautiful facility that provides a paved path throughout that is suitable for running. Parking is free and the aura is breathtaking peaceful. Have a wonderful run.

How far in miles is it from 70th street to the boardwalk
Around 3 1/2 miles or 43 blocks to the end of the boardwalk at 27th St. If you want to go the southern end where the rides and games are, it's another 2 miles or so. There is a public bus that runs 24 hrs a day every 10 or 15 minutes. The cost is $1.00 per ride, or you can buy a ride all day pass for $3.00. Cheaper than paying to park.
