How far north does the bus go?  We are planning a stay in North OC and don't want to miss out on the boardwalk!

The bus goes all the way to 144th St.  I don't think you will have a problem.  North Ocean City is nice.

I'm going to be taking the Greyhound to Ocean City but can't seem to figure out where exactly in OC it drops me off. I need to know so I can book a hotel room nearby.

The Greyhound Station is located at the West OC Park and Ride.  A Shuttle bus runs from there to South Division St. Transit Center for a cost of $1.  From there you can take a bus to anywhere in OC for $3.

There are handicapped spaces at the front (head) of almost every street along the Boardwalk and in all the public lots. The lot on 4th Street seems to have a consistent availability of handicapped spaces.

You can also camp at Assateague National Park for a fee.  It is a great location to see the ocean, but a 25 minute ride to the Boardwalk.

Hi. I would like to offer two dozen guests a chair to sit in at an informal beach wedding at Sunset Park in Ocean City, MD. The wedding is at 7:00 pm on Saturday August 20,2011. Companies from other states are willing to charge $100s extra to deliver to your area, but not set up or take down. Is there a selection of Ocean City locals to turn to for seating? I had heard OC was famous for accommodating weddings and OC is the annual vacation spot for my fiance's family, so I still want to have the beach wedding there... Thank you for any advice you may be able to provide!

You will have to check with the park first to see if they will allow you set-up 100 chairs.  I have not heard of this being done before.  PMI Rentals offers chairs for rent in Ocean City if they are allowed at the Park.

How far are you from Washington D.C.?

Should you go down to DC from OC, I highly recommend you avoid 95 and take 301.  The traffic can really back up on 95 these days and can make your trip much longer.

I am trying to find information on how to purchase a brick along the Boardwalk to dedicate to my parents or something similar to this.  Any advice?

The bricks can take up to 6 months to be placed, so plan accordingly.  They are ordered in batches and placed twice a year.
