This is our frist time to Ocean City and we are celebrating my son's 9th birthday. We are coming from Reisterstown, MD and are just staying the day. I want to know what is the best time to get there? Where do you park? Do you need beach umbrellas and chairs? Is there an area of the beach that has more to see than another? Any other info you can provide would be appreciated.

Coming from where you are I would say definitely cross the Bay Bridge before 9 in the morning right now.  You can find street parking or you can park in the inlet.  You can rent chairs and umbrellas when you get there,

MANY condo owners restrict renting to those 25 years or older. I believe that the Capri has it in its bylaws and Long and Foster only rents to either a "defined family" or to groups with at least two people 25 or older. However, I read (comment from Grand Hotel manager) that due to a lawsuit settlement, hotels/motels must rent to anyone 18 years of age or older. Does anyone know where I can find the MD law that reflects this requirement? Is it specific to hotels and not privately owned condos? Is there any reason to be concerned that these age/family restrictions violate any MD fair housing or other rules? I own a condo in a bldg where many owners would like to put restrictions on rentals so that we only rent to families or older indivduals rather than groups of highschool or college age individuals. I find it hard to believe that so many companies and individuals would get this wrong but I need concrete evidence in order to get the board to seriously consider these restrictions. Thank you.

As everyone mentioned, there are many places to buy OC Apparel.  There's a store that sits in the back of 45th St Village Shopping Center that sells everything in the store for $5.99 and under.  It's a great place to save money if you want to buy shirts and more.

Where do you change into and out of your bathing suit if you are going on a bus trip? All I see is options for public showers. I don't want to sit on a bus for 3 hours with a wet bathing suit on. Please help.

The closest bathhouse is in Assateague Island.  You can shower at a rinse off area on the boardwalk but we have no changing rooms.

I would say the Southern end of the boardwalk would be best. There is a promenade there and they have a walkway in the sand to the ocean if you wanted to be right near the water.
