Ok, can someone please tell me where exactly is inlet parking and the best way to get there?? We are staying at 109th St (Golden Sands). Also we usually don't get to the boardwalk before 7:00pm so will there still be parking available?

Follow Costal highway down past 1st Street. Stay in your left lanes so that you don't take the Route 50 Bridge out of OC. Once you get past that split you can get into one of your right lanes and follow the signs and the crowds to the Inlet Parking Lot. You should be able to find parking after 7. Or you could try to find a spot on the street or try the Municipal Parking Lot which you will pass going towards the Inlet Parking Lot.

We are staying at Golden Sands (109th St) starting next Sunday. What do you think about taking a bus to the boardwalk rather than driving?? What stop would we get off at? We're a family of four -mom, dad, 2 boys ages 7 and 8.

Personally, I would drive. There is plenty of parking at the inlet and side streets. But if you don't mind the long ride on a hot crowded bus, then the bus is for you.

I am staying in a rental until Tuesday. Is there a public "bath house" or the like where we can shower after coming off the beach before the long drive home? I can't find anything on the net. Thank you.

Oh my god. You have no need to worry. Ocean City is nothing but fun and eateries and restaurants all over. Some of the best are up that way and yes the Princess Rpyale food and bars and buffets are outstanding

You could try to find a spot on the street near 1st, there is also parking at the inlet. And 4th and Baltimore ave has a meter lot. Or the Convention Center is free on 36th, then you could take the bus down town.

You rent them from a vendor on the beach and they nothing to do with the hotel. If you talk to them maybe you can cut a deal with them on your own(my wife does it all the time).

I will be coming down from NJ, all the directions tell me to take Rt 113, but the last time I went down(many years ago) I took Rt 1. I plan on arriving in OC around 1030 am. Which is a better route?
Submitted by Craig M on July 31, 2009

I have done both and think it is a matter of preferance. I prefer to ome Route 1 and go through Rehoboth and all the other beach towns in DE. Makes me feel like I am "there"! There are LOTS of red lights though. Rte 113 seems to have less, but just doesn't have the appeal for me.

The larger hotels offer WiFi to guests, but often times you can catch the signals. Also there is a wireless cafe down near Division St.

Hi, I am coming down with the family (2yr old and 6yr old) and we're wondering where a good place to take the kids crabbing would be? Someone told us by the convention center, is there anywhere else? We're staying up on the higher streets, somewhere in the 120's, but will go wherever the kids can catch a crab or 2. Thanks!

There is a park called Northside Park around 125th St and the bay. It's full of sport fields, trails, large kids play grounf and best of all, a fishing pier on the bay and a deck overlooking a saltwater pond. You can go fishing or crabbing in either one. I take my son there all the time.
