I am coming to Ocean City on the 15th of June. But I wondered what was the quickest and best way to get from New York to Ocean City? Thanks.

Maybe I am too much of a beachbum, but my preferred route is the coastal route.  Take all the coastal roads through every beach town till you get to the Cape May/Lewes Ferry than take the boat to Delaware and drive the coastal routes to Ocean City.  I have done this from NY to Florida.

If you don't plan on driving, I would suggest taking a Greyhound. My cousin lives in NYC and always took a bus to OC because she didn't have a car. The Greyhound station is on 2nd and Philidelphia Ave in Ocean City.

Susie,

I really think you should finalize your route using Mapquest.  If I was coming from NYC, I'd take 95 to 1..... that'll take you directly into Ocean City....

Susie,

Mapquest offers the best mapping alternatives (ie tolls, distance, scenic, etc.).
