Oceanfront from the Inlet to 27th St · Ocean City, MD

About Ocean City Boardwalk

The Ocean City Boardwalk runs along the oceanfront from the inlet north to 27th Street, lined with restaurants, shops, arcades and amusements. Trimper Rides, home to a 1912 Herschell-Spillman carousel, and Jolly Roger at the Pier supply the rides, and the OC Life-Saving Station Museum sits at the inlet end. Thrasher's French Fries and Fisher's Popcorn have sold here for decades. Early hotels laid boards on the sand for guests, and a permanent promenade went in around 1910.
