When you tour the Ocean City region you will enjoy excellent accommodations and the sea air! Situated beside the roaring Atlantic Ocean, our 10- mile Boardwalk is just the place for long walks, a few reflective moments beside the ocean or a fun dinner with friends at one of the Boardwalk eateries. Or enjoy dining out on the town, Ocean City offers everything from boardwalk fries and cotton candy to the finest in elegant dining with classically trained chefs.
 
You’ll want to tour Assateague Island to see the world-famous wild ponies, visit the Life Saving Station Museum at the end of the Boardwalk that has the absolute best view of Assateague and the Ocean City Inlet waters.
 
Travel to the historic fishing town of Crisfield where you can board tours to Smith or Tangier Islands in the Chesapeake Bay. On land, experience a lunch where you can enjoy crab cake, see how crabs are steamed, picked and prepared as you await the delectable Chesapeake region delicacy.
 
Smith Island Cakes have been named Maryland’s official dessert. This multi-layer  confection has become a famous favorite at meals and you can see how they are made and assembled. Talk with Smith Island native bakers and get a glimpse of how life was when the waters teamed with seafood and production and shucking houses were big business!

Famous Route 50 Corridor
 

You may have seen Tom Brokaw’s series “American Character Along Highway 50”
 
Well, it begins right here in Ocean City!
 
 "A description of the route in a 1954 brochure remains surprisingly fitting today: "Above all, Famous Fifty is a pleasure route designed for the enjoyment of America and its varied wealth of history and natural grandeur."
 

 Highway 50, the central most transcontinental route in the United States, is one of the nation's most historic roads. It spans over 3,000 miles, traversing 12 states and Washington D.C., as it stretches from Ocean City, Maryland on the Atlantic coast to Sacramento, California in the west. Along the way it passes through farmland and suburbs and even the occasional city."
