Please note that many areas are scoured by people with metal detectors and they keep what they find.

You can also purchase low price chairs and umbrellas at Sunsations and Roses.

first of all, congratulations!  There are no special parking areas for pregnant people unless you have a handicap sticker, but parking is plentiful and it is easy to drop one off if the parking lot is crowded.

As stated, getting to OC is your problem and you could take a bus from BWI to OC and once in OC, you have the local bus to get you around and for Delaware, DART www.dartfirststate.com

I would not recommend OC for spring break if you are looking for a Florida/Caribbean style vacation.  The water and beach are way to cold for swimming and/or tanning.  There will only be handful of boardwalk stores open and only about 1/3 of the restaurants/bars are open.  Getting around would also be hard since there are fewer public transportation options in the Spring. 

My advice is to plan a bomb-diddily vacation once you graduate in May/June.  By then OC is a fun, happinging place with lots to do.

The tour boats and amusements will be closed, but mini golf and the boardwalk shops will be open. We go every year for Thanksgiving week and find plenty to do. We often go bowling or see a movie when we are down there at this time of year. Some other fun things to do that are off the beaten path:

Take one or both of the two self guided walking tours of historic properties in OC.

Got to Assateague to see the horses. Be sure to stop at the Visitor's Center.

Checkout the Delmarva Discovery Museum.

Go to the Salisbury Zoo - it's free!

Do some shopping at the interesting shops in nearby Berlin.

If you like World War II history, visit Fort Miles - it is about 35 miles away at the mouth of the Delware Bay in Lewis, DE. They have restored some of the coastal defenses and you can go up in one of the towers and get a great view of the ocean and the bay.

Have a great trip to OC in November!

I have gone  deep sea fishing out of the Bahia Marina and had a great time.  The Sunny Day guide usually has coupons as well. 

Jolly Rogers at 30th Street will not be open. Trimper's and Jolly Roger at the Pier may be open if the weather is nice.

Have fun in OC!

All riders regardless of age need a ticket to ride on the tram. You can get more information here.

Yes, if you are over 16 you need a license to surf fish in Maryland. If you fish from a commercial pier (the Ocean Pier or the Oceanic Pier), boat, or many rental boats those businesses often have licenses that will cover your group.

You can buy 7-day licenses ($6 if a MD resident, $12 if not) or annual licenses good for all of 2012 ($5 to $22.50).

Oyster Bay Tackle is a great source of fishing information and gear in Ocean City. The also have some good information on fishing licenses here. They also sell fishing licenses or you can buy them online.

Hope you catch something big in OC!
