My friends and I will be vacationing in Ocean City next week. We are staying at the Ocean Manor (south end of OC) and would like more info on the bus that is $1/ride $3/day. What is it's route? Where do you go to get the day pass? Also, any must see bars/restaurants on our end of town (we're in our mid-late 20's)?

Hi. It looks like you are staying where all the action is anyway but bus passes are available at City hall which is a few blocks from you but call first at 1-410-289-8221.  Buses run every 10 minutes in the summer 24 hours a day!! Excellent safe service.  Some clubs and restaurants down your way you can check out are:De Lazy Lizard, Peppers, harrisons Harbour watch, the pour House,Shenanigans, Brass Balls plus you will see many many other clubs and great eateries down your way.  Also dont forget to bus down to the Party Block on 17th and Seacrets( a little Jamaica) near 45th street(awesome fun place with palm trees and contests and many nightclubs under one roof!! Have a great time!!

Hello. September is a very popular month in all shore communities. Ocean City, MD hosts many events such as festivals and car cruises and many motels and hotels sell out quick. We always head down in Sept. and love it. The temp is great and the water temp is very warm . Everything is open, some childrens amusements may be open with limited hours during weekdays but all shops and restaurants are open. it is a very popular month. have fun.

There is/was a Dunkin Donuts on 18th St..  Even better is the Fractured Prune on 28th St. They are open daily till about 2. The doughnuts are made while you wait and I think are about the best anywhere. They don't make cream filled, but they do have every topping you can possibly think of. My favorite is the OC Sand. Two of those warm fresh doughnuts and a glass of milk makes me very happy!

We are car-free. I am wondering how we are going to get Ocean City via train or bus via New York City? Also, what is there to do car-free couple such as ourselves?

You can get to Ocean City via Greyhound Bus. Check your local availability.  Once you get here, Ocean City has a wonderful mass transit bus system that travels from one end of town to the other.  The cost is $1.00 per ride, or you can buy a ride all day pass for $3.00 (probably the best for you) per day. So with this great bus system in place, it won't matter where you stay in OC, and you'll be able to get to everything you want to do.

I'm coming down August 26-31 what is the weather normally like during this time? Thanks

The weather then is usually very warm and the ocean is at its warmest.  You can almost always expect it to be in the 80's to low 90's in the day and upper 60's to low 70's at night.   But remember, the weather is one thing nobody can predict.

Is there a beach location (i.e. a certain street or area) that's not as crowded. The beach towards the inlet is always jam packed and was wondering where on the beach would be the best place to go for a more spacious area.
