Can you BBQ on the beach?
You are not allowed to grill or have fires on Ocean City's beaches without a permit.
This document provides more information on the regulations and how to apply for a bonfire permit. Although the document focuses on bonfires, it applies to grilling and cooking on the beach too. There is a $75 fee for the permit plus a $100 deposit that is refunded only if the Fire Marshall's inspection indicates the area was cleaned up and all fire related material was removed from the site.

I am interested in booking a weekend getaway for my wife and I this winter, perhaps February. Can you please let me know what the weather is like then and if there are enough shops, etc. open?
I often go to the beach in February. It can be cold and windy, but I still usually manage to get a walk on the boardwalk or beach in. I always find something to do!
There are some shops open on the boardwalk on the weekends, especially if the weather is nice. Shops generally do not have fixed hours in February, and they tend to open when the weather is nice and the crowds are larger. Some restaurants are open year round, particularly on weekends. I always stop at the Visitor's Center at the Convention Center and pickup their list of places that are open with their hours and specials. President's Day weekend and the weekend closest to Valentines Day are a bit busier down there.

From oc to assiteague to see wild horses....is there transportation that goes over to see them???or must we drive??
You could drive or take the Assateague Explorer. Driving will be cheaper and you could also spend a day on the beach over there. Bring bug spray with you, I always take Off because the mosquitoes can be bad. If you drive, turn on route 611 which is right of route 50. There will be signs for it, if you are headed East towards OC, 611 will be on your right.

I'd suggest PMI rentals at 126th Street. They have been in business a long time and have a great reputation. You can reach them at 410.250.1251 or visit their website.
Cribs are $13 for the first day + $4 a day or $26 for the week. They will deliver and pickup for $13 in OC.
Here is their price sheet:

When we were on our yearly Ocean City trip, I stopped at a stand on the boardwalk to buy cotton candy for $3.50 . I dont remember the name of the stand and I want to know. The stand was right next to the Atlantic Stand and across the boardwalk from the Ripley's Belive It or Not building. It had a big bin out front where they spun the cotton candy.
You are probably referring to King's Cotton Candy Stand, it's on the boardwalk between Wicomico and Somerset St.

I was in OC recently and watched the Beach Patrol "Crew Comps". I really liked some of the shirts the teams were wearing. Can you tell me who some of the sponsors were so I can contact them? I know Fat Daddy's was one and I bought their shirt but I'm not sure of the others.
Your best bet is to reach out to the beach patrol directly. You can reach them at 410.289.7556.

good after noon. i would like to know will the beach be open on september 15th if not when does the beach close?
Most of Ocean City, with the exception of the outdoor pools, amusement parks, and water parks will be open and hopping.
The beach never closes except for hurricanes and lightening
I know you will find alot open and will not be bored.
If the weather is nice, you not only see a few people strolling the boards but you will see thousands of people strolling the world famous boardwalk of Ocean City.
