What to Pack

With a name like 'Ocean City' you know you're going to need to prepare for a whole lot of water-based activities. Swimming, fishing, kayaking, boating-it's all here. You should also bring:

  • Casual, summery clothes: take your time and explore the boardwalk, pier or one of the many parks.
  • Spare suitcase: there are so many shopping opportunities here, from outlets and malls to boutique stores.
  • UV filter: snap the perfect sunrise and sunset photos from Ocean City's island-based east side.
Best time to Visit

Catch Ocean City at its brightest and most beautiful in the summer, between May and September. Yes, this is peak season, but it's worth forgoing discount room rates to enjoy the city at this enchanting time of year, when the sun is out and the attractions thrum with life. Daytime high temperatures tend to linger around the mid 80s°F. Spring and fall here are charming too, but things get very quiet very fast in winter.
