Whether you’re looking for family fun, romance or outdoor adventure, we’ve got the perfect plan for your vacation. Our helpful itineraries will keep the activities coming each day of the week!

70 GOLF

Ocean City was once known as a beach destination, with a golf course or two on the side. Today, some say it’s the opposite—a golf destination, with a beach or two on the side. Whatever you call it, Ocean City is one of the fastest growing golfing destinations on the East Coast, and it’s the place to go for year-round quality golf in a region full of exciting attractions and natural beauty.

80 ON THE WATER

GUARANTEED! Inquire about end-of-season Waverunner sales

Experience a Feast for the Senses on Ocean City’s Charming Promenade. The smell of fries and the sea. The feel of ocean spray on your skin. The melody of a carousel. The senses truly come alive on Ocean City’s world-famous Boardwalk, where vacationers have come to “walk the boards” for more than a hundred years.

Oceanside Triples Parasailing

18 ON THE BOARDWALK

Ocean City is surrounded by water. In fact, statistically, the city is actually nearly 90 percent water. Of the 36.4 square miles that make up Ocean City, 31.8 of them are made of water. That translates to miles and miles of shoreline, plenty of public access points and hundreds of ways to enjoy the bays, river, oceans and inlets that make up this beautiful coastal community.

welcome T

to ocean city

en miles may not seem like a lot, but fill it with three miles of bustling boardwalk, a long stretch of beach, hundreds of shops, galleries, rides, restaurants and much more, and you’ve got one of the most active and exciting beach destinations in the country—Ocean City. Recognized as one of the Top 10 Family-Favorite Beach Towns in the Country by the readers of Family Fun Magazine and an All-Amercian City by the National Civic League, Ocean City is known throughout the country as a top-notch destination for families and couples alike. With so much activity, a diverse array of attractions and the beautiful backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, a trip to OC is a guaranteed fun time. To get started on your own Ocean City adventure, claim your white sandy front row seat on the beach, pitch your umbrella and slather on the sunscreen. Enjoy the soothing sounds of the surf and warm Atlantic

breezes as you let your worries melt away. Of course, the Boardwalk is the main attraction in Ocean City—packed with quirky stores, surf shops, bikini boutiques, fast-food stands, beach bars and restaurants; arcades, roller coasters and carousels; and of course, a beautiful and wide sandy beach, the Ocean City Boardwalk is always alive with activity. Escape the crowds and find a piece of beachfront paradise to call your own, while enjoying Assateague Island, one of the last preserved seascapes in the country. Several other nearby excursions beckon as well— extraordinary golf courses, a day trip to the Salisbury Zoo, explore the back bays, museums, theaters, spas and more surround the bustling beach. Go on a quick jaunt to nearby Berlin and see why major motion picture scenes have been filmed in the charming little town. No matter if you came for a wild time or the wildlife, you’ll be amazed at all there is to see and do in and around Ocean City. Seek your pleasure and have some fun at one of America’s favorite beach destinations.

Enjoy your stay! c

Stop in the many darling souvenir stores, eat some ice cream, and join in the fun at some of the many events happening along the boardwalk all summer long.

History

The Ocean City Boardwalk dates back to 1902. At this time, Ocean City was just becoming a popular seaside destination. Area hotel owners wanted an easier way for their guests to get around, so they constructed a wooden walkway, which could be rolled up and stored during high tide and the winter months. In 1910, a permanent walkway was built, running about five blocks. From there it continued to grow—by the 1920s, the boardwalk was expanded to 15 blocks. While a storm tore apart the original promenade in March of 1962, the present boardwalk was built shortly after. Since then, more and more attractions and hotels have been built. Today, the boardwalk extends to 27th Street, spanning three whole miles. The boardwalk has recently undergone a complete renovation with all new wooden boards replacing the ones that had begun to deteriorate. Continued on page 21

The station house was officially dedicated as a museum on Christmas Day, 1978 and has become Ocean City’s Showplace.

In a heartwarming homage to the beautiful beach town of his childhood, director Michael Tully has filmed his latest independent film entirely in Ocean City. Ping Pong Summer, set in Ocean City in 1985, is the story of a suburban Maryland boy in love with ping pong, whose life changes during a summer vacation to the seaside town. Tully grew up in Mount Airy, Maryland and spent many a vacation in Ocean City–experiences that began to inspire the writing of Ping Pong Summer when the director was in high school and which have finally turned into a reality for the film, which will be released in the fall of this year. The city has been behind Tully and his cast every step of the way. In August 2012, Ocean City and the Worcester County Commissioners each granted Ping Pong Summer $100,000 to help with funding the film. And while the movie features wellknown stars Susan Sarandon and Lea Thompson, the roles of the kids have all been filled by local actors from Maryland and Virginia. Tully sincerely wanted to maintain the authenticity of the area and the honest feelings of adolescence through his cast and was therefore intent on locally casting the teenagers. Tully hopes the film will show the world the magic of Ocean City while also telling an uplifting coming-of-age tale about ping pong, hip hop and growing up. Local resident Joe Kro-art was delighted to have his famous store, Ocean Gallery, scripted into the movie. Kro-art welcomed film crews into his store, and he and his wife even wore outfits reminiscent of the ‘80s for the film. He’s helped to publicize the movie and says that the film has already had a great impact on their beach city. “People are just mesmerized by it,” he says. “Everybody wants to know everything they can about it. It’s really an experience; it’s an adventure.” Kro-art says he feels that Ocean City will continue to benefit enormously from the film. “Ocean City potentially has a chance of being the Hollywood of the East Coast,” he says. “This is big—capital B, capital I, capital G, BIG.

Family Fun for Everyone!

Get your family up and out of bed for a sun and fun-filled beach day! The beach is the perfect place to splash in the waves with your family, and best of all—it’s free! Build a sandcastle or two, and get some ice cream treats to cool off afterward. After you’ve all washed off the layers of sand, treat everyone to some grub at a beachside pizza restaurant. Ocean City is known for some great pizza spots, and this easy meal is always a winner.

Sunday If the kids are up early in the morning, take them to the boardwalk to rent a bicycle or maybe a Surry! These fun activities are also great exercise when you make a few loops down the boardwalk. They will love zooming around and staying cool from the ocean breeze. This fun exercise is also a great way to explore the area with your loved ones. Once you’ve worked off a sweat, cool off by splashing down a waterslide at one of Ocean City’s fun water parks.

Tuesday If you want family fun with an exciting edge, try racing one another in some gokarts! Kids love driving cars all on their own, and go-karts are a safe way to let them go wild on the track. After you’ve finished competing, bring everyone down to Ocean City Inlet where kids can play arcade games and ride carousels.

Wednesday Take some time to reminisce with Ocean City Memories or let yourself travel back through time to join the heroic Surfmen of the US Life-Saving Service on a rescue mission.

As the sun sets, spread out a blanket and have a beach picnic with all your loved ones to relax and unwind after a fun day.

and bustle of the later risers. After you see the sun’s spectacular rays glistening across the water, enjoy a scrumptious breakfast at a boardwalk restaurant where you can watch cyclists do a few loops on the boardwalk. After you both have refueled, rent some bikes yourselves and enjoy the variety of shops that line the beach.

Friday Pack your trunk with swim suits and walking shoes because Ocean City is the place to enjoy those sunny days with your significant other. As soon as you arrive, the salty smell of the ocean will make you crave some freshly caught seafood. Ocean City’s restaurants offer huge selections of seafood as well as other popular items like pizza, prime rib and BBQ. Swing by a romantic oceanfront restaurant or an all-you-can-eat buffet to satisfy those delicious cravings.

Sunday Today is a nice day to relax and catch up with a good book. Sprawl out those beach chairs and umbrellas, and delight in a relaxing read. Once you’ve absorbed a few rays, grab some kites to fly. This activity is sure to make you both feel like kids again.

Saturday Wake up early to experience a sunrise complete with peaceful crashes of the ocean’s waves. The serene relaxation of the early morning beach in Ocean City is the best way to enjoy each other’s company without the normal hustle

Listen to Live Music on the Beach

Spot a Wild Pony The ponies of Assateague Island have been roaming the sand dunes and marshes of their windswept strip of land for hundreds of years. Today, visitors come from near and far to check out the peculiar animals in their natural habitat. Just remember not to touch or feed the ponies—they are still wild animals.

If the quintessential Ocean City day is spent splashing in the waves and sunning on the sand, the quintessential Ocean City night is setting up a lawn chair and listening to live music as the sun goes down. Every Wednesday at North Division Street, listen to a variety of tribute bands and local favorites as they bring the day to a close. There are also a number of special outdoor concerts on the beach throughout the year.

Try your hand at SUP (Stand Up Paddle Boarding)

Go Kayaking

The newest craze to hit the water is the SUP (stand up paddle board). SUP is one of the fastest growing water sports in the country, and Ocean City’s back bays are the perfect place to give it a try. Many local watersports companies offer SUP rentals and instructions. And the best part is that SUP is a sport of all skill levels—and incredibly easy to learn

There’s something about the rhythm of paddling a kayak that is unmistakably soothing. Around Ocean City, beautiful natural coastal areas make kayaking even more of a serene experience. Go on a guided tour around Assateague Island and learn about the importance of the ecosystem around you. Or rent your own and explore areas you could never get to on foot.

Ride the Boardwalk Tram Take in all the sights and sounds of the boardwalk without taking a step. Hop on the Boardwalk Tram, which runs from the Inlet to 27th Street and stops anywhere in between. Operating from 11 a.m. to midnight during the summer, the Tram is a great way to get around and experience the thrills of Ocean City at the same time. The trams even go out on the pier. For additional information, please call Ocean City Transportation Operations at 410-723-1606.

Downtown Ocean City

J

ust off the boardwalk, there are plenty of exciting things happening in the historic downtown area of Ocean City. From 4th Street to the Inlet, you’ll find a thriving and constantly improving district with shopping, attractions, accommodations and more. For visitors, downtown offers a wonderful shopping experience, with everything from used books and clocks to art and home accessories. Specialty jewelry shops and souvenir stands dot the charming streets of downtown Ocean City. Quieter and more serene, the area is ideal for an afternoon stroll or mid-day break from the beach. Many visitors enjoy spending a whole day downtown, partaking in leisurely activities such as visiting a quirky museum, spending a nostalgically wonderful afternoon on amusement rides, sampling candy from the local shops and buying a unique assortment of souvenirs to take home. One of the most popular reasons to visit downtown is the spectacular assortment of seafood, pizza, authentic Italian and Irish cuisines found here. Stop in for a fruity drink at one of the beach bars where the atmosphere is casual and the folks are always friendly, or celebrate a night on the town in a fine dining restaurant complete with delectable selections and sensational desserts. If you’re having a difficult time choosing what to eat or if you’ve got a picky diner in your bunch, opt for one of the many scrumptious seafood buffets with various items to please every palate. Speaking of taste, to help visitors get a sense of the true flavor of the area, the Downtown Association of Ocean City has put together a self-guided walking tour of downtown with interesting facts about buildings and a look into the history of America’s playground. Brochures with the walking tour and map can be found at Visitor Information Centers or the Downtown Association office at 605 South Baltimore Ave. If you’ve been downtown before, it’s definitely worth a second visit. The area has experienced a major resurgence and revitalization, mostly due to efforts by the Ocean City Development Corporation. The organization’s vision is “an economically sound and socially healthy downtown Ocean City, where revitalization has capitalized on the positive aspects of the area to create a sense of character, charm and community for both residents and visitors.” Looking around now, you can see the improvements. The program has accomplished many building renovations, with even more projects currently underway. Not only is the downtown area ever-changing; so are the events. This summer, plan to attend Sunset Park Party Nights July 11–August 29. Enjoy live music and watch the sun set over the Isle of Wight Bay from the perfect location in Ocean City. As you venture downtown this summer, plan on visiting the new projects as well as the numerous restaurants, retail stores and attractions.

and beloved ponies as they roam free in their natural habitat. Two herds of horses call the island home—the Chincoteague ponies on the Virginia side and the Assateague ponies on the Maryland side. Both herds have been living on the island for hundreds of years, though only legend and theory can explain how the creatures got here. One theory says that a Spanish galleon wrecked off the shores of the island, and the ponies swam to shore. Another theory is that colonists in the 17th century let the animals loose on the island to avoid livestock taxes. Either way, the ponies’ long history on the island has become one of the defining elements of this sandy strip of coastline. However, always keep in mind that while these quiet creatures look tame, they are still wild animals and should never be petted or fed. Besides pony-spotting, recreational activities abound on Assateague Island. Kayaking, especially on the bayside, is one of the best ways to take in the scenic marshes and wildlife. Hike the 37 miles of beach or several paved and unpaved trails through marshes and dunes, or bike right onto the island and along Bayberry Drive for a pleasant 4-mile route through island habitat. Other popular activities include shell collecting, swimming, surfing, surf fishing, shell fishing and bird watching. More than 300 species of migratory birds and resident birds can be spotted around Assateague Island, a vital link in the Atlantic Flyway for migrating waterfowl. Of course, one of the most popular ways to spend the day on Assateague is relaxing on the sandy beaches on one of the East Coast’s last great preserved coastal areas. On your way to your island escape, visit the Barrier Island Visitor Center on the southern side of Route 611 before the Verrazano Bridge park entrance. Find information about the park, programs and recreational activities plus exhibits on beachcombing, nature films, a marine aquarium and a touch tank. For more information about Assateague Island, its ponies and wildlife plus rules on camping within the parks, visit www.nps.gov/asis or call 410-641-1441. c

Historic Berlin W

hile it is just seven miles away from the sandy beaches of Ocean City, the quaint town of Berlin is miles away from ordinary. The historic town is picture perfect, with red brick buildings, stone churches and period wooden homes framed graciously by magnolias, sycamore trees and tulip poplars. With the warm character of the southern Eastern Shore, Berlin has a resort-like feel combined with the quiet and historic charm of a turn-of-thecentury village.

The best way to appreciate Berlin is to meander around the town’s scenic streets. You’ll notice many old 410-641-4775 buildings—in fact, there are numerous structures in the www.berlinchamber.org town that are noted in the National Register of Historic Places, not to mention the whole downtown itself. Nearly two centuries of architectural heritage are represented, dating from the Federal, Victorian and 20th Century periods. Since the 1980s, Berlin has undergone considerable revitalization of its historic downtown commercial district, and it shows. Visitors and locals alike can now appreciate the historic town to its fullest potential and imagine what it was like hundreds of years ago. A recent addition to the town is daily horse and carriage rides (spring through fall). Today’s downtown Berlin has been designated as an “Arts and Entertainment District” due to its cultural growth and fostering of artistic activity. Berlin is also home to the Worcester County Arts Council, which maintains an art gallery filled with works by local artists. Of course, you may enjoy your visit to Berlin so much that you’ll want to stay the night. And with historic B&Bs like the famed Atlantic Hotel, the newly opened Waystead Inn or the charming Holland House B&B, your night’s stay is sure to be as enjoyable as the day.

Berlin, a Real Life Movie Set Berlin is so enchanting that it has been the location for some major motion pictures. In 1998, Paramount’s Runaway Bride was shot in Berlin, which became the fictional town of Hale, Maryland for the film. Richard Gere and Julia Roberts starred in the movie, which featured several local shops downtown and many residents as extras. In 2001, Berlin transformed itself into the set for the film Tuck Everlasting, starring Sissy Spacek, Ben Kingsley and William Hurt. The downtown was transported back in time to the turn-of-thecentury, complete with dirt roads, horses, carriages and period costumes. Today, you can take the walking tour of the Runaway Bride set locations.

A

new living museum, a charming downtown, and cypress swamp adventures make these coastal communities worth discovering!

Waving a welcome to visitors and residents, a huge American flag flutters high above this charming lower Eastern Shore town. The flag was planted on the banks of the Pocomoke River in 1985, the same year Pocomoke City was in the running to be named one of America’s best small towns. And lately, there’s enough going on to put it right in the running again.

Are some people more likely to burn? Yes. The most susceptible are people who are fair-skinned, tan poorly, have red or blonde hair, or are blue-eyed.

Should I use a sunblock?

What should I do about a bad burn?

Take a cool bath, not ice cold, and don’t use bath salts, oil or bubble bath. Take it easy on your skin—no scrubbing, no shaving. Use a soft towel and pat the skin dry. Try a sunburn remedy or firstaid spray, one with lidocaine or benzocaine (quick pain relief). Use a light moisturizer and a dusting of powder (eases chafing). Note: Stay out of the sun, and if the sunburn is severe or if you blister, feel faint or nauseous, see a doctor immediately.

KIDS’ CORNER

Since 80 percent of skin damage occurs in the first 20 years of life, it’s up to parents to start their children on a lifetime of protective skin care. Some recommended precautions are:

Your child and the sun:

Babies under 1 year of age should be kept out of the sun. Use lightweight, light-colored clothing, and always cover their head with a hat. Use a sunscreen with a protection factor of 15 for best results. Apply liberally and often. Don’t use a sunblock with a protection factor of more than 4 on babies under 6 months. There is a possibility that the skin may absorb the chemical, and the child’s system may not eliminate it.

What to do about jellyfish:

or Go Mobile!

Can medications add to sun sensitivity?

Yes. Some examples are as follows: Tetracycline, diuretics, and major tranquilizers (such as Thorazine or Stelazine). They have the potential to cause a bad burn from an amount of sun that would not ordinarily be harmful.

FAMILY PRACTICE • URGENT CARE • X-RAY • EKG • SUTURES $

Yes. There is evidence that sunblocks help prevent skin cancer and sunburn, and retard the aging effects of the sun. Get a sunblock with the highest number, preferably 15 or greater, if you are more likely to burn. Sunblocks should be applied at least once an hour while you’re in the sun, and more often if you are perspiring or swimming. Use a sunblock with a higher protection factor on the following areas that need extra protection: the tip of the nose, ears, collarbone, top of the feet and shoulders. On your lips, use only those products designed for that use. Keep all sunblock and sun medications away from the eyes. The sun is most damaging between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

While jellyfish look beautiful and harmless, their tentacles are an entirely different situation. The tentacles are long, spindly appendages that hang from the underside of the jellyfish. When they come in contact with the skin, the result is a red welt and severe pain. Gently wash the area with a mild soap and water, then apply liberal amounts of meat tenderizer (MSG, Accent) to the still-wet area. Benadryl will help lessen the reaction. If the reaction worsens, see a physician. c

Street is like a trip back in time. When a resort town is almost 150 years ago, there are a lot of stories to be told, history to be learned and trinkets to be found. Antique shops abound whether it’s to venture further inland or further south to the Eastern Shore. Whether you seek vintage postcards or Victorian lamps, this treasure hunt could go on for days. Sometimes resort towns are home to a unique store that won’t thrive elsewhere. Whether that be an independently owned pet store, a high end cigar store, or a local winery, be sure to flip through this magazine for an idea of what’s here. If you’re always a season late on your swimsuit fashion, be sure to check out our swimwear section. What’s hot right now, what flatters you, or just go retro... plus, where to find it so that you can wear it. There are plenty of places to shop, and whether you stick to the Boardwalk or venture downtown or to Historic Berlin, you’re sure to find something that will please. Bringing a piece of Ocean City home with you is a great way to relive your vacation all year long. —Chelsea DeAngio

Swimwear 2013 By Jill Bennett*

A Cut Above!

This summer’s swimwear is a cut above, and I mean that literally! Suits are cut up, cut out, cut high, and cut low. Let’s cut right to the chase:

Cut Ups:

Picture a patchwork quilt, where solids mix with prints, circles mix with squares, and the end result is a quirky combination of color and pattern. Color blocking is at the forefront of this mix, with many designers combining different solids, outlining them in black, and creating a stained glass look on the body. Some designers are combining solids with bold graphic prints for an 80’s Mod look, while others combine multiple small floral prints together for a more delicate patchwork appearance. In many of these delicate suits the blooms of the fabric are set apart by lace and lingerie binding for a very feminine feel. Of course, there’s nothing more cut up than fringe! Fringe has taken over this season’s runways. One and two-piece suits are trimmed in fringed tops, bottoms, skirts, and side ties. The wonderful thing about fringe is that it serves as great camouflage for all of our figure flaws. Small busts get extra volume, large busts get hidden, and the bottom shake is in the fringe, not the booty! Fringe is your friend!

Cut Outs:

This trend is most obvious in this season’s one-piece suits. The “monokini”

is mainstream this season, and it’s a great design for the modern woman who wants the look of a twopiece but the coverage of a one-piece swimsuit. These suits have keyhole cutouts at the sides, front, or back. They incorporate dramatic strapping cuts through the body and bodice, including one-shoulder straps. They can be held together by zippers, lace, neoprene, and crochet. Crochet on it’s own is probably the most important fabric of the summer! Every designer has crochet in their collection, and it is, after all, the ultimate cut out fabric! This season there are both one and twopiece crochet suits. Most are solid with a lining of the same color or contrast color, but there are some beautiful printed crochet fabrics as well. Of course, it’s not the same old “granny with the crochet needle” you think of! These fabrics are stretch Lycra and laser cut so that they can’t possibly ever unravel. That brings me to laser cuts! Have you ever seen a swimsuit that has a scalloped edge, but no hem? That’s a laser cut. When a fabric is cut with a laser, the edges of the fabric are sealed, which eliminates any fraying. This opens the door to limitless new precise open details like circles, flowers, and lacey shapes.

Cut High and Low:Suits tend to be cut with a little more

coverage this season. The “Katy Perry” high-waisted retro bottom is conventional now, but when you wear it you immediately look like a fashion forward style setter. And the best part…it covers and tucks the tummy! When you want more coverage in the top, turn to the season’s hottest crop tops and bustiers. Crop tops tend to be a bit sportier, and they lend volume to a small bust. Bustier tops offer underwire support and coverage, and they have a sexier, lingerie look. Never before have there been so many bra-sized tops that offer coverage and support to the full-busted woman. For the woman who wants

something a little lower cut, look for plunge neckline one-pieces and low-rider briefs on bikinis. As for this season’s colors, think bright! Coral is key, whether you opt for the more orange-melon shades, or the pink-red range. It’s a must try color because it looks good on every skin tone! If your tastes gravitate toward a more blue, cooler color palette, try purple! It’s definitely fresh and new! So now it’s time for you to make the cut! Visit your favorite swimsuit retailer and cut a beautiful figure! *Written by Jill Bennett

Golf Guide Ocean City is your complete destination for hitting the greens and the beach

O

cean City was once known as a beach destination, with a golf course or two on the side. Today, some say it’s the opposite—a golf destination, with a beach or two on the side. Whatever you call it, Ocean City is one of the fastest growing golfing destinations on the East Coast, and it’s the place to go for year-round quality golf in a region full of exciting attractions and natural beauty. The scenic area surrounding Ocean City is just the starting point for great golf. Big name course designers like Jack Nicklaus, Jim Furyk, Arthur Hills and Pete and P.B. Dye all lent their expertise to more than 17 championship courses in the area. They’ve created magnificent courses with lush fairways

Bayside Resort Gold Club incorporates many of the natural characteristics of Ocean City, including the dense clusters of trees, which this club has kept for lining the fairways. The courses at Bayside also give the golfer splendid views of the Assawoman Bay right from the green, keeping any athlete calm and focused on the game. If it’s a visually striking scene a golfer is looking for, head to the Bear Trap Dunes for a unique experience with varieties of sand dunes and native wetland grasses that complement the natural landscape of the oceanfront. The club offers a unique design of courses by architect Rick Jacobson, which have won acclaim in the area. The unique terrain is not only visually stimulating but also provides rare challenges that test a golfer’s ability.

This course also features the “Green Monster,” a 100-yard wide double green. Ocean City is the best place to accommodate a range of prices for every golfer. The area continues to be a destination where the average golfer can plan an outing without having to pay outrageous greens fees. Plus the host of courses available provides the flexibility to accommodate every golfer’s spending point from the penny-wise putter to the copious competitor.

t

n the mid-1800s, a few fishermen from the mainland of Maryland set out in tiny rowboats to the strip of land now known as Ocean City. They came to fish off the shore since at the time there was no inlet with access to the ocean. To accommodate the anglers, a local farmer built a small inn on the beach in 1869. After that, more and more hotels and inns began to sprout up across the island, and the rest, they say, is history. Fishing is a defining part of the history of Ocean City, as it has been one of the major commercial and recreational pursuits for hundreds of years. However, one momentous year gave the city a whole new reputation. In 1933, a major hurricane severed the sand barrier connecting Ocean City to Assateague, creating an inlet with direct access to the ocean. Now the area is comprised of hundreds of square miles of water, from gleaming waters of the bays, canals and rivers to miles and miles of open sea, and there is plenty of action in every square mile for fishermen. The recreational fishing industry in Ocean City is so popular, in fact, that it has earned the title “White Marlin Capital of the World.” To celebrate this title, Ocean City holds an annual White Marlin Open fishing tournament, the world’s largest billfish tournament, in August. This event can be as fun and exciting for spectators as it is for anglers. All fish are weighed on the official scale at Harbour Island, and the weigh-ins are held each day of the festival and open to the public free of charge. As the week goes on, the suspense builds, as potential lottery-sized fortunes change hands with a tip of the scale. It’s a terrific way to spend

a few exciting hours during your Ocean City Vacation. As popular as the white marlin is, it’s just one of a numerous variety of fish that can be caught in Ocean City. The Gulf Stream is a short distance off shore and is full of large fish like tuna, mako, dolphin and more. The larger fish feed in and around the canyons of the Gulf Stream and haunt the relics of sunken ships and artificial reefs looking to make a snack out of smaller fish. There are dozens of charter boats that offer full-day, offshore fishing adventures, afternoon trips or even night fishing. Area captains know the best spots to drop a line, so you’ll be reeling in a big one in no time. Most charters supply bait, rods, tackle and ice to keep your catch cold. If you’ve brought your own boat along, there are several public boat ramps providing access to the area’s bountiful waters. There are plenty of bait and tackle shops for all of your hooking

and catching needs, and most of the owners are experienced fishermen themselves, happy to offer advice on which bait and materials to use as well as the locals’ favorite fishing holes. Fishing in the bay, piers and surf are also extremely popular and fruitful fishing adventures. Don’t be surprised if you catch some quality flounder, tautog, bluefish or sea trout just a few minutes after you drop your line in the water. A fishing license is required to fish the saltwater bays, inlets and ocean, so check Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources website to make sure you’ve got all the materials you need. As soon as you drop your line in the water, you’ll come to appreciate Ocean City fishing just as much as the mainland fishermen back in the 1800s. Whether you’re a serious angler or family looking for a fun afternoon on the water, fishing in Ocean City is a great way to create memories for a lifetime. c

These personal watercrafts are simply a blast to ride. Speed across the water and over waves as the water sprays up behind you. Venture out with a friend, and try to spot dolphins in the surf. Most rental companies give you a designated riding area to explore, ranging in size. Be sure to ask ahead of time where your area begins and ends. Of course, safety is always key, and our outfitters make sure you are properly trained before driving the craft. Remember to always keep on the lookout for those sharing the waterways with you—that goes for other boating enthusiasts and wildlife!

Parasailing

What can beat soaring above the beach on a smooth parasail ride? For more than 25 years, more and more people have been discovering the joys of defying gravity and flying among the clouds. One of the most popular beach activities, parasailing, can actually be done without even getting your feet wet. Most parasail companies ask if you’d prefer to take off and land from the boat or the water. Either way, as you float higher and higher in your harness, the last thing you’ll be thinking about is the water. You’ll be too busy enjoying the breathtaking view and unbelievable feeling of flight.

Rent a Boat

Pontoons, jet boats, deck boats, cruisers, skiffs— the possibilities are endless. Just choose your craft and set out on your own voyage in the surrounding waters. Pontoons and deck boats are great for families—enjoy an afternoon cruising, swimming, snacking and tanning. Or if you’re craving some speed, rent a speedboat or cruiser. Some companies even offer free water ski, tube and wakeboard rentals, so you can enjoy a full day of water sports. And of course, experienced anglers can skip the charter and rent their own skiff for a solo fishing adventure. Whatever your passion, renting a boat is one of the best ways to experience the abundant and beautiful water that surrounds Ocean City.

Surfing

It’s a passion shared by millions around the world—the coveted feeling of riding a wave. Surfing is a sport performed by people of all ages and is one of the best ways to enjoy the beach while also getting quite a bit of a workout. Sure, from the beach it looks easy, but surfing actually requires strong swimming skills, good balance, arm strength and a whole lot of determination. That said, once you spot that perfect wave and find yourself suddenly standing on the board as the wave brings you ashore, you’ll be hooked. The best way to get a good start surfing is by taking a lesson or two for the basics. Area surf schools will teach you how to get from lying down on your board to standing up (without toppling over), how to pick the perfect wave and how to fall without hurting yourself.

Kayaking Great for exploring remote coastal areas, kayaking gives people an up-close view of some of our country’s last preserved natural beaches. Spot wildlife and migrating birds, coast through tall marshes, and enjoy the quiet solitude of nature. Take a kayak tour and let a guide lead you through unspoiled areas while explaining the eco-system and wildlife around you. Or just rent a two-person kayak, and explore wherever your hearts desire.

time Ocean City favorite and a tradition for many families who return year after year. With its old-fashioned feel, Trimper’s has all the classic amusement rides like bumper boats, a Ferris wheel, tea cups, roller coasters, a haunted house, a tilt-a-whirl and much more. The pier at the Boardwalk is home to one part of Ocean City’s largest amusement park, Jolly Roger at the Pier. Get a bird’s eye view from the area’s tallest carousel, and try out some of Ocean City’s exciting amusement rides like the Slingshot, which shoots you into the air like a cannonball. The original Jolly Roger at 30th Street offers even more rides as well as traditional midway games and an antique train circa 1952. Buy an armband, and enjoy unlimited rides at both parks for one low price. From the hysterical to the historic, pay a visit to the Ocean City Life-Saving

Station Museum near the inlet and learn about the times and tides of Ocean City. Exhibits detail the history of the life-saving service and the town of Ocean City itself with interesting artifacts and displays. Another museum on the Boardwalk displays artifacts of a whole different nature. Ripley’s Believe it Or Not! Museum features more than 500 bizarre exhibits from around the world. Witness the unusual and the amazing, and rest assured you’ll have a conversation starter for the rest of your vacation. Enjoy some laughs at Flashback Old Time Photos, which has three locations in Ocean City—two on the Boardwalk and one in the OC Square Shopping Center. Nothing can be as entertaining as watching your family members dress up as saloon girls, pirates, gangsters and cowboys and then having the photos to prove it. Plus, the antique-looking framed photo can serve as a great souvenir. Go-karting is one activity that unites both kids and adults. Kids love getting behind the wheel of something motorized, and the challenge of a race is felt by young and old. Baja Amusements in West Ocean City has eight different go-kart tracks, ranging from a Rookie Track for ages 4 to 7, to the Road Racer Track, Ocean City’s fast half-mile track, featuring single- and twin-engine karts for maximum speed. Baja also features an 18-hole mini golf course, bumper boats, two climbing walls and kiddie rides the whole family can enjoy. Grand Prix Amusements also boasts eight go-kart tracks, including the favorite Grand Prix Track, featuring half a mile of banked curves and racing action. Reach ultimate speeds on the new Bullit Racing Go-Karts. The seven acres of the amusement park are filled with loads of other attractions, including land and water rides, bumper boats, batting cages and more. Want to explore Ocean City on two—or four—wheels? Stop by Bike World on Caroline Street where you can rent all types of bicycles, whether you’re

attractions looking for comfort or speed. Grab a friend and rent a tandem bicycle, or rent a surrey that will fit the whole family. And remember, fun cycles aren’t just for the kids! If you’d rather cruise than peddle around town, Ocean City Scooter Rentals is the place for you. Visit one of the two locations on 22nd and 54th Streets, and zip around Ocean City on a scooter, which is available for hourly, half or full day rentals. Helmets are included with your rental, and smiles are a sure thing. A taste of the Old West is never too far away in Ocean City due to the popular western theme park at Frontier Town. Explore the replica western town circa 1880, and meet some colorful characters like cowboys, Indians and can-can girls. Then head over to the adjacent water park to float along the Lazy River, slide down a variety of water slides or play 18 holes of mini-golf. Calling budding artists of all ages, Jeffrey Auxer Designs offers lessons and classes to learn the basics of glassblowing. For a truly unique activity, visit the blown glass and fine art studio, located on Jefferson Street in Berlin. You can witness the beauty of blown glass, browse the gift shop or make your very own glass piece. In search of live music and theater while on vacation? Be entertained at the OC Jamboree, an art music theater located in West Ocean City. Celebrating its 15th season this year, the OC Jamboree is home to fun and family-friendly shows. Ocean City has many unique and challenging mini-golf courses, including Lost Treasure Golf, which promises a golf adventure to every visitor. Aim for a hole-in-one through caves, waterfalls and bridges. Old Pro Golf is one of Ocean City’s longest-running mini-golf courses, in operation for more than

40 years. Today, Old Pro has seven courses across Ocean City, including two indoor courses. All of the courses have different and elaborate themes, including Renaissance Castle, Prehistoric Dinosaurs, Undersea Adventure, Temple of Dragons and more. The Viking Golf Theme Park also offers an adventurous mini-golf experience but with a totally unique theme— mythological Scandinavia. As you golf, you can learn about Viking history, solve a riddle and imagine the Vikings’ battle with a two-headed dragon. Also onsite is the Thunder Lagoon Waterpark, which features 2,800-square feet of water fun for the whole family, including six water slides, three pools and interactive water props. Casino Ocean Downs offers a premier entertainment facility in the heart of Maryland’s beach resort community with 750 slot machines, an incredible gaming area and live seasonal harness racing. 410641-0600. www.oceandowns.com For more intense fun, head to the recently renovated OC Paintball and Sports Center. Ages 10 and up are welcome to play day or night on 11 acres of lighted fields. The pro shop offers rentals, sales and a certified gun tech onsite at all times. Or pick up some speed aboard the OC Thriller, the newest and fastest speed boat in Ocean City. The hour-long narrated tour zips past the OC skyline at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. For those who want a bird’s eye view, book a tour with Cloud Dancer, and climb aboard one of its red biplanes to experience breathtaking sights. Beyond the Boardwalk and immediate Ocean City area, there are several attractions worth a short drive. If you make a trip to Salisbury, don’t miss the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, which features the most comprehensive Continued on page 92

Extraordinary Service and Exceptional Reasonably-Priced Food, Served in a Pleasant DiningExtraordinary Atmosphere Service &

From pizza to pasta, seafood houses to tiki bars, there is a stunning variety of dining options here. But what most local restaurants have in common is a focus on quality atmosphere, good service and local flavors such as the famous Chesapeake blue crabs, fresh seafood from the Atlantic Ocean and fresh veggies from the many farms on Maryland’s rural Eastern Shore. You’ll find a mind-boggling array of crab cakes, from the breaded and fried boardwalkstyle cake to the seasoned and herbed gourmet variety. Why not try them all and see which one you like best? Perhaps the best part about Ocean City dining is that you don’t have to sacrifice atmosphere for a good meal. Both come standard at area eateries, many of which offer beautiful, sweeping ocean or bay views and outdoor seating. Dig your toes into the sand as you sip on a cold beverage at one of the beachfront restaurants, or enjoy the sunset and live music from a bay-front eatery. Continued on page 98

Wondering what fresh catch you might find on vacation? Here are a few ideas: Blue Crab, the pride of Maryland and tasty menu item sought out by tourists and locals alike, is mainly available from April through December. The season for the soft shell variety ends a few months earlier, in October. That means during the summer months, you’ll find crab on almost every menu in Ocean City, in an infinite array of presentations. The classic way of cooking crabs, which gives them their signature flavor, is to steam the crabs in large pots with water, vinegar and Old Bay seasoning. Many restaurants will substitute or add ingredients to give their crabs a unique flavor. Striped bass, or rockfish, is another Maryland legend. As the official state fish, striped bass is a deliciously moist fish that area restaurants can cook up in a multitude of ways. The mild flavor is usually complemented by many added spices, herbs or sauces and grilled, blackened or broiled. While you’ll probably find striped bass on the menu all year, the best season for the popular fish is during the fall and winter months, when they migrate south from New England. Tautog is often plentiful in the areas surrounding Ocean City, and because of its lean, firm and tasty meat, it is a popular menu item and choice for the “Catch of the Day.” Find the fish served baked, basked with butter and covered in crumbs or rubbed with spices and grilled. The main fishing season for tautog is May through September, but anglers still manage to reel them in year-round. Another popular fish in Ocean City is flounder, which is found in the bay during the summer (June through September) and in the ocean all year long. Flaky and delicate, flounder is a mild fish that can be prepared in a myriad of ways, but for the most part, you’ll find this tasty fish pan-fried to perfection. During the summer, you’ll find many other fish on the menu or specials board, including Spanish mackerel and bluefish. Of course, Ocean City menus also feature seafood favorites like shrimp, oysters, clams, lobster and salmon. Always check the specials for the freshest catch and innovative chef’s creations.
