We've been coming to O.C. for the last 6 years. This year we are coming on our motorcycle around Aug.14. We are looking to explore out and around O.C. and would like to know what recommended places there are within a 75 mile radius. Of course we are staying on the bay side but won’t mind riding out to see some different sites. We have been to Assateague Island, Snow Hill and places of the like. Your guidance is appreciated. Thank you!!!

Mani,

Sounds like you have a great trip planned..... I think you should ride an hour south of Ocean City and go visit the Assateague Island Lighthouse..... that would be a great ride....  Also, here is a website that can help you plan other destinations.... http://www.atbeach.com/beachmd.html  I hope you have a great time!!!

For two quaint towns that are nice rides, try Berlin and Pocomoke. Both are about 30 minutes from Ocean City. You can try the European vacation and go to Berlin (MD) and Vienna (MD) in the same day. Enjoy your ride and be safe.

You would enjoy Crisfield, Smith Island, and Janes Island as well.  All three are close to each other..

A nice day trip by bike is to drive down to Chincoteague Island have lunch and then ride back.  You would take 50 to rt 113 south take a left on rt 12 and a left on Chincoteague Road.  It's an easy drive with lots to see.

Mani,

Chincoteague, VA
Berlin, MD
Salisbury, MD
Smith Island, MD
Assateague Island, MD
Fenwick Island, DE
Cape May, NJ (by ferry!)
Dover, DE

Then you have so many places to check out in OC while riding - take a tour of all the back roads leading from the bayside.  Great communities, small parks, etc.

Thank you,
Anna G.
