Assateague’s Gun Club Era

62 Inside Ocean City 2022 What makes for a great date night? Time to really get to know each other. If you've been with your significant other for some time already, time alone together offers the opportunity to re-establish the connection. Time away from the day-to-day stresses and chaos can do wonders for your relationship. We have a few suggestions to get you started on that great Ocean City date.

A Day Time Adventure

Learn to Surf

This doesn't have to be one teach the other; check out the local surf shops for a schedule of classes. It will be an introductory class, but lots of laughs and spills will make for a memorable morning. You might even dry off and have some lunch in one of our open-air pubs.

Relax at Northside Park

The Park is an excellent place if you're looking for a quiet afternoon. Plentiful sunshine, trees with benches cooling in their shade, and of course water; the Assawoman Bay makes for a beautiful backdrop for a date. You might even plan this outing for a Sunday and catch Sundaes in the Park! Or you can always take a small tub of ice cream and two spoons. Rent Two Spots on a Fishing Charter

Even if neither of you has ever fished, this is a great adventure. Sun, water, and watermen that will teach you their art. They know the best fishing places and try very hard for your trip to be a fruitful one. Yes, they will even bait the line for you. If you are staying in accommodations that offer an in-room kitchen, you can even take your catch home for dinner. Many watermen will clean your fish for a small fee.

Venture to Assateague Island

Walking and talking is a great way to get to know one another or even reminisce. There are many trails for hiking, and you might even spot a wild pony or two. Just be sure to keep your distance from them; no great date ever ended up in the ER.

Later in the Day & Evening

Explore Near-by Berlin

Just 15 minutes from town is the charming town of Berlin. It's a great little town to browse, with several quaint restaurants to delight any foodie. In addition, there are shops of all kinds to explore, the famous Island Creamery, and local breweries. Spend the afternoon, the evening, or the entire day.

Order Crabs for the Deck

Have a great little balcony or deck in your accommodation? Order a dozen steamed crabs, grab a few beers and enjoy one of Ocean City's most famous meals. Maryland Blue Crabs are like no other, and they are at their best when freshly steamed. It's a great get to know you date. After dinner, perhaps a walk on the beach to round out the evening. Young or Just Young at Heart?

No matter your age, it's still fun to plan games on the Boardwalk and win silly prizes. You can spend within your budget and still have a little left for a Boardwalk treat. Old fashioned summer fun never disappoints.

Go Ice Skating at the Carousel Hotel

Locals know it's an excellent place for a date. Near the holidays, it even has that "Hallmark" charm as you skate hand in hand around the ice. Drinks and snacks are available to polish your evening. Walk the Boards -The entire Boardwalk

It's something all locals will tell you they have done a least once and most on a first date. Time to get to know each other, explore shops, play a carnival game, and an array of Boardwalk fare for snacking. The entire length of the Boards is just 2.45 miles, in one direction. Want to do it like a local? Park in the Inlet parking lot and walk down and back to your car. Sound like just too much walking? You will be surprised how much fun it will be and how memorable the accomplishment when in good company.

Dinner & a Movie

The old standby, but it's always a winner. There are over 100 restaurants to choose from with a wide variety of cuisines. While seafood is often at the forefront of many menus, you can find everything from Italian to Chinese take-out. And the movie theaters? You can find them uptown, midtown, and in West Ocean City.
