Ocean City is a classic American resort town located on a barrier island along the Atlantic Ocean. It is a quintessential summer destination for families in the Mid-Atlantic region. The focal point is the historic three-mile wooden boardwalk, lined with amusements, arcades, hotels, and stands selling Maryland crab cakes, saltwater taffy, and fries. The city’s population swells from a few thousand in the winter to hundreds of thousands in the summer. It offers a relaxed, fun-in-the-sun atmosphere with excellent fishing and wide, sandy beaches.
