Ocean City is a city well aware of the importance of public access to the coastline, which is why the local community works so hard to maintain their beloved beach. This is a place where families can come and play together without fear of trash and pollution or other things that lurk in the water (except for marine creatures; they're kind of part of the deal).
Take advantage of the free family activities and embarrass your children at the Beach Olympics, or opt for a slightly more chilled-out day of swimming in the Atlantic. For lunch, head over to a beachside restaurant, or spend the afternoon cooling down in the arcades.
