Seacrets is great as well as the party Block.  For a list of great golf places and specials, go to. www.oceancitygolfvacations.com.   I recomend the following hotels:  Princess Royale, the Clarion, and the Dunes Manor.

We, along with our friends (all over 50 and no kids), are planing our vacation the second week in Sept--12-16. As I read some brochures, it seems that much of the evening entertainment stops around Labor Day. What is there to do in the evenings other than the bar scene? I hope we didn't pick the wrong time to come to Ocean City.

Jeffrey,

OC is becoming more and more of a year round resort area.  Many locations, restaurants, activities, nightlife, etc. will still be open during your visit.

A few favorite restaurants to try, Greene Turtle, Bull on the Beach, Blue Ox, Buxy's Salty Dog, etc.  The Clarion (Horizon's) plays some great live music all year - definitely worthwhile to check this location out.

A few other suggestions, an after dinner cruise.  Try the Angler or Judith M at Fishtales.  Delmarva Bike Week will be happening during your visit, so definitely check out the local papers for all the special events happening.

In addition, don't miss the Gem, Jewelry and Mineral Show at the Convention Center on September 16th.  It's a great opportunity to see local artists showcase their jewelry exhibits.

Have a great time and you picked a great time to visit OC!

Virginia,

There are several churches within Ocean City, but I was unable to find a Pentecostal.  However there are several very close to OC.  Check out this website for all the specific information, including address, phone, etc.:  http://www.oceancity.md/oceancity/churches/

Have a great summer vacation!

Is this a safe place for a family vaction, is there a high crime rate?

Pam,

My family visits several times throughout the year and we've never experienced any issues.  Is there crime, like anywhere, yes.  During the summer it is higher, simply because the number of visitors increase dramatically.

The OCPD does an excellent job of keeping order in OC.  If you would like more information about this agency, check out their website:  http://oceancitymd.gov/police/

Our children (8 and 10) are never far out of our sight, but that's in any area.  You use a little extra precaution during the summer months, otherwise, completely safe for any family.

Thank you,

I've been there many times over Labor Day and never seen any. Other than ones that people set off themselves. But not big ones over the ocean.

It's a hit or miss this time of the year as shop owners open at the leasure. But if the weather is good, most shops, restaurants are open for the weekends.

Does the boardwalk tram run daily after Labor Day? Also, are the restaurants and shops along the boardwalk open for business through the end of September?

September is still a busy month in Ocean City.  Everything is still open and the weather is great.  The water temp is 78 - its highest temp of the entire year!
