Tony,

Please visit the Town's website, http://oceancitymd.gov/ada.html, as it provides great information.  I did not see an answer to your question concerning mobility scooters (although I have seen them on the boardwalk in year's past), recommend contacting the Town directly.

Hope you have a wonderful time.

There are 35 handicap designated parking spots at the inlet lot. I don't know for certain if those parking spots are available during festivals or car shows, but here is the phone number to call for information.
Ocean City Park & Ride     410-723-1606
They do allow free 90 minute parking for those using the handicapped spots, however anything beyond 90 minutes you will have to pay.
I did email the group who takes care of the car cruise weekends and as soon as I hear back from them, I'll post up their response.

Try Island Cycles at 311 South Baltimore  Ave.  They also rent bicycles. I don't know what their rates would be though.

I have a killer food product and I want to sell it in Ocean City MD. I will be using a small trailer kiosk for sales. I was wondering after all the licensing is taken care, where I am allowed to locate it. Are there certain parts of the boardwalk that I can role my kiosk onto? Or side streets maybe 4th or 5th street? Thank you

Where are good marinas to take my kids to? We would like to see the fishermen bring in their daily catch. We have been down to MR Ducks on Talibot St. When I was young, I was at a larger Marina, and not sure where it was. We stay at the Spinnaker, so I am not sure if there are any good places around there.

Hello there, a friend and I are going to ocean city, but only for 1 full day. I was wondering if it's okay for 2 17 year olds to be in ocean city alone together?

OC is a very safe place, so I would say yes, it would be safe for two seventeen year olds to go by themselves for the day.  But I don't know how far away you are...if you are more than 3 hours away, it may not be worth the gas $ to go down and come back and curfews can be an issue as well.  When I was a teenager, my sister and I would ride the bus by ourselves and go off to do our own thing all the time.

I want to take my 6 nieces to Ocean City for the first time, the first weekend in May. they are ages 3,5,6,7,10, and 13 years old - all girls. Myself, and my two sisters will accompany them, all girls trip! my question is two part and are as follows: first of all, when are the boardwalk rides, stores, shops and arcades offically open? Second part question: can u name a few motels that are inexpensive, even if they are a few miles away from the boardwalk? I mean staying on the boardwalk would be great, but its probably out of my budget. I would like to have an "open" pool at the motel too. Let's face it, Icant watch 6 kids in an ocean that they have never been in before! We plan to leave 6am on saturday morning, spend the night and come home sunday..... I am hoping that 450.00 will be enough money to go!

I would highley recommend going to www.priceline.com and booking your hotel through them.  That way you can name your price and the star rating of hotel you want to stay in.  The boardwalk is about a fifteen minute drive from Northern OC, less than that the farther south you stay.

The boardwalk is always open and hours of stores vary.  Some are open year round, some just during the summer.  The outdoor amusement rides depend on the weather.  Trimper's is open year round, but caters to a younger demographic.  Marty's Playland arcade is open year round as well.

Other fun for kids...Dumser's Dairy Land for ice cream, putt putt (there is even an indoor one on 67th St), and the hotel pool.

Have a great trip!  OC is a wonderful place to take kids!
