My husband and I want to visit over our anniversary, we are both handicapped and were wondering if the tram will be running on the Boardwalk during 9/10/11 and 9/17/11.

Another idea is to utilize parking that is close to one of the restaurants such as Bombora at the Phillip's Beach Plaza Hotel on 13th St. or Harrison's Harborwatch at the Inlet.  Both restaurants will validate your parking pass, making parking free, you will get a fantastic meal from either restaurant, and some beautiful ocean views as well.

Unfortunately it will not be.  Maybe you could rent a mobility scooter if the need is there.  The bus is also another great way to get around.

Unfortunately, it will not be running when you are down.  It does offer a nice leisurely ride on the boardwalk.  When they were shooting the OC Rodney commercials, they put one of the trams in a Baltimore neighborhood last year.  Here a pic i took of it:

The Boardwalk Tram

The ocean breeze, beach, sand, and family atmosphere are just a few of the reasons why you will want to ride the Ocean City boardwalk trams during your visit to Ocean City! The comfortable boardwalk trams can take you the whole length of the boardwalk, which travels from the Inlet to the North Booth at 27th Street. The Boardwalk tram will stop at most any location along the route to load or discharge passengers. The best part of the half-hour ride will be the detour that takes you on the pier close to the ocean where you can see, hear, and sometimes even feel the ocean water. Now you know you are in Ocean City, Maryland!

Tram fare is $3.00 per person, per boarding, one way ride. Discount fare punch cards are available at $20 for 8 rides. Inquire at either Tram Station or with a Tram Conductor.

New unlimited ride pass, which costs $6, a passenger can get on and off the Boardwalk tram as much as they like between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily. The unlimited ride pass will not be available during Springfest, Sunfest, OC Air Show weekend, July 4th weekend or Labor Day weekend. Unlimited ride passes will be sold at both north and south ticket booths and on any tram.

Please note: The tram operation is subject to prevailing weather conditions. See the station operators or call 410-289-5311 or 410-723-1606 for further information.
