This is where the fun starts.

Whether you're looking for a classic family week at the beach, 17 outstanding golf courses, world-famous sport fishing or a weekend getaway, OC delivers everything you desire ASAP.

Things To Do:

World-famous fishing.

If you love fishing, you need to drop your line in OC ASAP.

For starters, Ocean City is the White Marlin Capital of the World. Every year, the world’s best fishermen compete for huge cash prizes in the White Marlin Open. (Spectators are welcome and the weigh-ins are free, public events.)

But that’s just the beginning. Ocean City offers hundreds of square miles of opportunity for anglers of all ages and skill levels. A fishing license may be required, and it’s easy to register. Also you can rent anything from rods to boats.

With the Gulf Stream literally on our doorstep, bigeye and yellowfin tuna are just a short sail from shore, as are bluefish and wahoo. You’ll find abundant mako, mahi-mahi, white marlin, blue marlin and even the occasional sailfish. Flounder, trout and sea bass are plentiful in the bay.

If you don’t have a boat, don’t worry. “Head boats” (boats that charge individuals per head) are easy to find. They do fill up quickly, however, so call ahead to reserve your place. Or just pick out a spot on a bridge, beach or pier. The Route 50 Bridge, for example, is a favorite. Surf cast from Ocean City and Assateague beaches for bluefish, sea trout, kingfish and more.

If you prefer a public pier, try any of these locations:

Inlet Park in downtown Ocean City
Third St. Pier (bayside)
Ninth St. Pier (bayside)
Northside Park, 125th St. (bayside)

If you do have a boat, we have convenient ramps. You’ll find public boat ramps at:

Assateague Island Park (Rt. 611 at Assateague Island Bridge)
Gum Point Road (off Route 589)
Ocean City Commercial Harbor (Sunset Avenue in West Ocean City)
Check ahead with your hotel, motel or condo about parking space for your boat trailer. Most marinas have space available for a modest fee. Or if it’s a last-minute getaway, and you don’t have time to hitch up your boat, rentals are plentiful at OC marinas.

Please note that boat trailer parking is prohibited in:

The Little Salisbury area (87th St., Bering Road)
Public streets and municipal parking lots.
