The salt air fills your senses and recharges your batteries like nothing else!

There’s so much to do in Ocean City each spring, you’ll be glad you rested up all winter.

The long Presidents Day Holiday weekend marks the unofficial start of spring with the annual Seaside Boat Show at the beautiful Roland E. Powell Convention Center. From there, the festivities go on non-stop with an antique show, The Home, Condo & Garden Show, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival, the internationally renowned Ward Foundation World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition, the Maryland International Kite Exposition, an arts festival and of course, one of the entire nation’s most celebrated family fun events, the four days of Springfest!

Winter’s brown carpet is replaced by lush, green fairways on the dazzling array of championship-caliber golf courses surrounding the town.

The summer hustle and bustle is still weeks or months away and the bargains are everywhere to be had, from room rates to restaurant specials.

It is an ideal time to reacquaint yourself with old friends or to meet new ones while drawing your inspiration from the sea that surrounds us here in Ocean City.

Summer
The number one vacation destination for so many generations, Ocean City is truly the place to be when the summer sun shines. Cool breezes off the blue Atlantic are the perfect accompaniment for whatever you choose to do. Or choose not to do.

Take it slow and bask on the beach, or ride a tidal wave of summer activities, tumbling through the day and into the fast-paced action of Ocean City’s nightlife.

Stroll along our venerable Boardwalk for a taste of life from the 1800’s, or take a taste of our world-famous saltwater taffy, popcorn and fries.

Move to the beat of a different drummer and hit the Ocean City club scene for some dancing. From the latest tunes to tropical rhythms to Big Band sounds, you’re sure to find the right song to dance the night away.

Then, watch the sun rise over the ocean and start all over again.

Explore the many quaint and historic towns nearby. Try your luck fishing for the mighty marlin offshore, or dip your line into the bay for tasty flounder and Maryland crabs. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll find that Ocean City has it, waiting for you!

Autumn
Toss the clubs into the car and head straight to the first tee at one of the many glorious golf courses nearby.

Or let yourself in on one of the locals’ little secrets: The ocean waters and salt air stay warm well into the fall, and with the kids back in school, the beach now belongs to you!

Come see why Ocean City’s annual Sunfest celebration is consistently ranked as one of America’s top 100 events by tour groups and motor coach operators! Music, food, arts and crafts, a sea of big-top tents and a family atmosphere that is second to none are just part of the charm at Ocean City’s oldest continuing attraction.

Every weekend there are events and shows worth catching, and every weekday is a gem to be treasured well into the winter.

Winter
Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and by the bays on the other, Ocean City benefits handsomely from its surroundings! These waters retain some of autumn’s warmth and buffer the resort from wintry blasts. A winter’s escape to the beach can be a dream come true.

Ocean City’s Winterfest of Lights, listed as one of the American Bus Association’s Top 100 events, transforms this seaside resort into a winter wonderland. A million holiday lights sparkle throughout the town on animated displays. It truly is a festival not to be missed.

Walk arm-in-arm along a deserted stretch of beach, and then cozy up to a roaring fire. Or seek out the generous hospitality of one of the many fine restaurants that remain open year-round and treat yourself to a seafood feast of oysters, clams, and other Eastern Shore favorites. Enjoy a tableside Caesar salad or a brick-oven pizza.

Whatever cuisine you choose, you’ll find it tastes better at the shore.

Snuggle in overlooking the restless winter sea or watch the sun slowly set on the back bays and wetlands as flocks of geese fly overhead.

However you choose to spend your winter’s days, Ocean City is the ideal place to do it!
