What kind of parking is available for the convention center

You will have no trouble leaving your car at the convention center in most cases.  However, you will want to check in on your car from time to time if you decide the bus will be your main source of transportation.

Last seaon we brought a 12' x 12' tent and used it on the beach withno questions asked. We are hearing rumors that we can no longer use it. Is this true or a false statement. OC rocks.

I was just in OC two weeks ago and saw several canopy tents.  Since  have used one of these in the past, there are two things I have learned...stay behind the lifeguard chair as you will be asked to move if you are obstructing their view and don't put it up on a really windy day as the spokes inside will get destroyed.  Other than that, enjoy the shade!!  And I completely agree...OC does ROCK!!

The boardwalk in the morning will give you some great scenery, but bikes must be off by 11 am.  Northisde Park is another great place for biking trails and wonderful scenery to take in.

yes September and October are popular months in Ocean City, MD. The boardwalk shops are open year round now and yes they are open all September. Rides may only be open on weekends but there are several other events for children open during the week. Sunfest and Kitefest bring thousands to Ocean City,MD in Sep and many car shows as well.Most weekends in Sep and oct sell out fast so book a room and have a great time.

The club is famous for its foam parties - where the entire club is filled with foam (like bubbles but thicker and they do not sting your eyes).
