Some things that we like to do around Ocean City
Great place to book a surf lesson for you or your kids where the staff are very engaging. In the summer season you should book in advance of your stay. 1.5 hour lessons are either at 8.30am or 5.30pm daily.

Traveler advice
Customs and culture
Swimming and Safety
There is a life guard station right in front of the condo. Life guards are on duty between 10am -5.30pm in the summer season (check website for schedules in off-season).
You cannot surf or sandboard while the lifeguards are on duty as it can be dangerous for swimmers but you can boogie-board!
If you want to surf all day - check the schedule for the rotating dedicated surf beach. https://www.oceancity.com/surfs-up-a-note-on-surf-beaches-in-ocean-city/
Useful phrases
Ocean City Boardwalk
Take a stroll up the boardwalk and grab an ice cream or lunch. The boardwalk is too far to walk from our condo so try catching the bus! There are several public car parks, including the inlet parking lot but they get busy in the height of season.
