Hello Insiders. This will be my first time visiting Ocean City Maryland. My friends say they love staying at the Princess Royale. I would love to stay there however my grandmother has back problems where she is advised by doctors to sleep in a recliner type chair they don't want her sleeping in beds. Do you know if that hotel or any place can accomadate her needs? It's been so long since she's been on vacation and I could use any advice you can give me. Thanks!
As Savas stated, they do have the very comfortable beds. I sleep like a baby when I stay there.

What is the weather like in May? Last year,we were down the middle weekend of May. It was chilly and rainy. Did we just have bad luck or is that typical May weather. We ended up coming back down in August but by then it was way too hot and too busy for our little guy,2 at the time. He is already talking about going to the beach,must be tired of the snow. He doesn't like the water but loves to play on the beach. Help us pick a good time for our little guy. Please and thanks!
Jessica,
Unfortunately weather is so unpredictable - as you well know. May is normally a nice time to visit, before school is out, before senior weeks, etc. However weather can be tricky.
Our favorite times to visit (when our children can enjoy the beach without large crowds that is) are June and late September. We are in OC every year for Fireman's convention and haven't experienced really bad weather. May rain, but it's quick moving.
September weather, very similar to June - at least in our experience. But because schools are back in for the season, less crowds, especially during the week.
August - definitely peak tourism time and very crowded.
Thank you for your question,
Anna G.

How far is 10th st from the boardwalk looking to rent a place for a week is everything walking distance from there?
It;s a great location and everything is either walking distance, a short tram ride or a short bus ride away.

My fiance' and I would like to get married this summer while we are on vacation. We thought about having the ceremony on the beach at asateague state park since that is where we are staying. Its going to be very small ceremony. We are looking for more suggestions, maybe trying to get married on a boat. Suggestions?
Another great place to get married is at Fagers Island. The Carousel Hotel will accomodate you for a wedding with a great backdrop being the ocean!

We are heading down this summer and I was wondering if there are any good classic rock radio stations that reach Ocean City. I seem to remember one being called The Duck or something like that.
Q101 plays 70's, 80's and 90's hits and todays. But I think you're looking for the WAVE 92.1 . They play the oldies that I like to listen to.

Are there babysitters available in oc?
During the summer, I know the Marina Deck Restaurant has a Kiddie Room with on site babysitters available while the adults enjoy dinner there. I don't have any small children so I wouldn't have any need for a babysitter, so it's hard for me to answer your question. But I think you would be better off bringing someone along with you that you know and trust to watch your little one rather than a stranger.

Is it OK to come to OC in February even though it's cold outside?
OC can be a great place to visit in February, especially on weekends. The crowds are gone, but lots of great restaurants and other places are still open, especially on weekends.
You can get a great list of what is open in the off season here:
http://ococean.com/assets/managed/advertorial/oc%20md_businesses%20open%20in%20the%20winter.pdf
I've been down a bunch of times in February, and there is plenty to do. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Enjoy a great meal at one of OC's great restaurants. Most of the restaurants in large hotels are open and these hotels have great package deals available. Some restaurants to consider are Harborside (West OC, casual), Captain's Table in the Courtyard Marriott, Fager's Island (fancy, great bay view), Victoria Room at Dunes Manor (great of the beach and ocean), Horizon's in the Clarion (great of the beach and ocean), Season's in the Carousel (great of the beach and ocean), and Harpoon Hanna's (great large warm fireplace), Lombardi's (great pizza).
2. If it is sunny take a brisk walk on the boardwalk.
3. Visit nearby Berlin and checkout the interesting shops.
4. Bahama Mama's, Crabs to go, and some other places still get great crabs this time of year. The crabs are often from Louisiana, but they still taste great. Try a dozen.
5. Mini Golf at the indoor Old Pro courses on 68th and 136th can be great fun, even for adults.
6. Sometimes we go to a movie or go bowling at the lanes on 72nd Street.
7. Assateague has a new visitor center which I've heard is great. Go visit it and then take a drive across the bridge to see the ponies.
8. Get a place with an indoor pool and enjoy a great swim. Dunes Manor has a great indoor / outdoor pool where you can swim outside and still be warm (My kids swam there after Christmas when there was a foot of snow on the ground in OC!). If you have kids, the Francis Scott Key has an indoor waterpark that is great. However, no matter where you go, if you are interested in a pool call ahead. Some places do pool maintenance for a week or two in the off season, so you want to be sure that the pool is operating.
Make sure you bring a warm winter coat, hat, and gloves. It will likely be cold and definitely will be windy.
Have a great trip!

My husband and I will be coming to OC for Valentine's weekend. We are staying at a private condo and was wondering what there is to do in OC this time of year.
Valentines is a wonderful time of the year to visit Ocean City. Many places run great specials. If you would like a romantic meal, check out Fagers Island or Frescos.

Besides the plaques and benches on the boardwalk I thought I saw plaques at northside park. Any info on that please.
How about a tree? Many of the beautiful trees that line the paths through Northside Park have been donated and dedicated to loved ones and have commemorative plaques at the base of each tree. I would give them a call at (410) 250-0125
