Ocean City, Maryland: Family-Friendly Boardwalk next to the Atlantic

Along Ocean City’s century-old boardwalk, you can savor wild-caught blue crab, play old-fashioned arcade games, and watch candy makers spin colorful saltwater taffy. The lively boardwalk, which stretches for 3 miles along Maryland’s eastern shore, helped earn Ocean City a spot on USA Today’s list of the "10 great places to have some fun on a boardwalk." Kids can ride a ferris wheel, carousel, and many other amusements at Jolly Roger at the Pier.

Assateague Island National Seashore—a 37-mile stretch of salt marshes running from Ocean City down to Virginia—offers a peaceful reprieve from the boardwalk’s constant activity. The island’s famous wild horses gallop on the shores, and you can can climb up a vintage, candy-striped lighthouse, or hike the seaside forests to spot birds, including great horned owls, ruby-crowned kinglets, and great blue herons.

The room was spacious and clean. I had an ocean view so I was able to look down at the boardwalk and the ocean. It was fantastic. I was there during the virus and was very satisfied. I only had contact with the front desk, and she was very nice, but I didn’t need much. It’s great to go off season because of the rate. I also liked the direct access right to the boardwalk from the hotel. Overall, I’m glad I choose this hotel.

Excellent stay! Adventures of a Family Vacation! Overall, an excellent experience! The rooms were very clean! Considering that my own family brought the beach back to the room with them even after rinsing off, they were able to get up all the sand, which is remarkable! I can only imagine how much sand has been removed from the room. My only hopes is the cleaners return the sand to the beach, otherwise, there won’t be a beach left for anyone else!! I may need to hire them to come clean my house! Beds were comfy. Extra pillows provided. I was excited that they were double beds because in our King bed at home, my husband just rolls away from me when I want to snuggle. I have come to realize that after about 10 minutes of him plastered against me snoring, I was the one that wanted to escape! I need to make better choices when booking beds! Staff were super friendly! So friendly that I thought they may offer up their first born child if we asked! Check in may be at 4pm, but we arrived at 12pm and inquired about parking there and heading to the beach. Not only could we park there even though it wasn’t 4pm, but they said our room was ready and let us check in early! Other fun facts: A/C is nice and cold, mini donuts right next door, coffee and tea available 24/7, No ice machine on our floor which was bummer, hotel is on the boardwalk, but far enough from the main area of the boardwalk that it wasn’t loud and noisy all night, and it’s walking distance from the beach. Would I stay again. Absolutely.

Girls getaway This was the 3rd time my friend and I have stayed here. We love it for a girls getaway just to relax and enjoy the beach. It is a perfect location for an oceanfront view on the balcony, and nice walk along the boardwalk. There are restaurants all around. The staff always greet you and are all very nice.
