I am thinking of a short stay in early September (8-11). Will many places be closed at that time? Also, is it historically warm enough for outdoor pools to be open and ocean swimming?
Tony,
Many of the hotel outdoor pools are heated to extend the season as long as possible. We've been down in October and November and either been in coats to simply tshirts. Weather truly varies, best idea is to check www.weather.com a couple days prior to your visit. Ocean swimming again, temperatures vary but would be very likely, especially since the heat of August has warmed the ocean water dramatically.
Many places will still be open, the biggest change you will see is the outdoor rides will all be closed (they close the week after labor day). Otherwise, pretty much business as usual.
Thank you,
Anna G.

Some outdoor pools close between the middle and the end of September. I would check with the place that you are staying at to see what their plans are for their pools. The ocean water is still typically warm enough to go swimming in.

Tony,
Pools should be open - especially indoor pools which are open all year long. The ocean is at it warmest in September. It is my favorite time to swim. Lifeguards will only be at select streets on weekend, so swim with care and a friend.

Tony,
Early September is probably my favorite time in Ocean City..... Most of Ocean City's attractions, stores and restaurants are open.... You'll find some that have gone to a weekends only schedule... but not many. Yes, it is historically warm enought to swim in outdoor pools (many outdoor pools in Ocean City are heated) and absolutely the ocean... the ocean is at it's warmest during this period of time...... Have a great stay!

a lot of the places will still be open. ocean swimming you have to be careful because there will not be lifeguards and most hotels have indoor pools. some still have their pools open it depends on where you stay. have a great time tony
