Ocean City Boardwalk

What an awesome boardwalk. It is pretty extensive — a lot of shops, food and games. Had a great time here over mdw and will certainly be back again!

Great late night-​crawl for food & souvenirs. The amusement rides are seasonal, but for a conference I attended for work we were allow a special day tour walk. The rich history will surprise you, so take a tour be a tourist even if this is your home state. The Ferris wheel, carousel have been in place for years. The rain didn’t stop me, because each time I visit it pours.

Am I a fan of boardwalks no do I like O. C boardwalk it’s ok. I come down here to relax and fish. Now is the beach better than any beach from NY to Florida no. What it is though is the one beach I go to relax. Thrashers fries and so freaking good Coffee Beanery does me justice with a nice cup of café. Playland arcade is a place for the kids and big Kids alike. As a Steelers fan I appreciate the shops for selling my team gear but where is my Red Sox gear. When down here I walk the boardwalk like all the other zombies cause that’s what my wife likes. O. C is one of my favorite towns to drive in cause I get to do u turns. Sometimes I just jump in the car drive coastal highway just doing u turns yes I know I’m a few eggs short of a dozen. What do you expect from a kid from Jersey who would get a ticket and points for doing a u turn. Back to the boardwalk ok it’s the same boardwalk in your beach towns. Candy Kitchen, Sunsations and Dough Rollers everywhere so you can get your taffy, t-​shirts and pizza where ever you like. Swing down have some fun and don’t forget your bait.

I don’t get down to the shore very often but it’s always nice to visit. There are so many things to see, eat and do. I can’t say anything that hasn’t already been posted here.
But here is my experience. My friend and I went before Memorial Day so I’m sure things were cheaper (including the parking lot). We first walked up and down the boardwalk looking at all of our options. We went on the Ferris wheel and I got some nice shots of the ocean and the beach. We bought some Dolle’s taffy.
It was a nice sunny day and of course I will be back.

I am always here on my yearly OC trip. I like to shop on the boardwalk and walk alongside the beach. There’s lots of places to eat and drink too! The carnival is always fun.

We enjoyed our time at the beach. For the most part, it was clean, except around the areas of the trash cans. There was litter. I will say, as far as parking, it seems there are questionable characters mulling around. I am glad we took the drive and spent some family time by the water!

Very busy in late July. Lots of shopping and restaurants.

Aaahh the Ocean City Boardwalk. Tourist trap to the max, but oh how I love the smells, the sounds, and the crowds. All kinds of delicious, greasy carnival foods and sweets. And there are plenty of rides for the kiddos and the big kiddos too, including out on the big fishing pier. Even the off season draws plenty of people. This time of year (Halloween) they put up a free beach maze which is fun for all ages. I don’t always get the chance to go to the boards when I hit OC, but when I do I always take a big breath and just enjoy the moment.

Boardwalk is basically the highlight of Ocean City, lots of things to do. It’s awesome

One of the reasons I started coming to Ocean City, MD was because of the beaches and boardwalk — they had a very family-​friendly feeling to them. I felt safe walking by myself around the town and the boardwalk. I haven’t been here in 5 years and I can honestly say, I felt like I was in a space warp and had been transported to Wildwood or SleazeSide, NJ (Seaside). The boardwalk is becoming a walking time bomb for trash and low-life’s. It used to be full of higher end shops, jewelry stores, kitchy little stores and now it’s «Nothing over $ 6.00» with their drug selling paraphernalia and raunchy t-​shirts a parent doesn’t want to have to explain to their child (such as, «Mommy, what is that in Mickey Mouses mouth?» — a hash pipe). Also, the boardwalk is full of those «street performers» like in Times Square, NYC — the person (s) dressed up like a creepy Minion or Mickey Mouse asking for hand outs to take a photo. Or the massive signs saying «Welcome to our SMOKE FREE Boardwalk» when there are people lighting up all over with the cigarettes, pipes, MJ or cigars and a cop walks RIGHT BY THESE PEOPLE and says nothing! I read recently that in 2014, Ocean City was ranked #1 in crime in the state of Maryland. I can honestly say, I don’t know if I’ll be back next year and may make the trek even further to the Outer Banks or Virginia. Very disappointing Ocean City. Very, very disappointing. Bring back the family-​like atmosphere and get the trash out!

All around a fun place to walk around an check out different attractions. The public parking is only $ 1.50/hr, which worked out well for us.
I personally enjoyed this boardwalk more than the one in Myrtle Beach.

A fun and happening place. I always enjoy going here. I grew up near the beach so multiple visits to the beach are a must for me every summer. Though, I’ll admit, I go here in other seasons too. It’s pretty busy so if you want a quieter beach then head on over to Assateague. The boardwalk is full of vendors selling fun souvenirs and good food. You’ll also see painters, caricaturists, singers and other performers here. There are many rides here too. You can go on a roller coaster, carousel, Ferris wheel, swings, etc. Parking is hard to find but last night I found a spot right next to the boardwalk. You can walk the boardwalk or take the train/​shuttle thing and watch the entire boardwalk, shops and people for a small fee.

Love all the venues and eateries on the boardwalk. Like the mini-​train like bus thing they have going on .$ 3 one way ride

I am sorry to rated this place bad., it is the people that come here made this place so third world country.

Great place for a walk with friends and family. All sorts of fun stores, food, drinks, and entertainment. No matter your age you can find something to do. My go to spots are Kohr’s Brother custard, A latte Enjoy and Shenanigans. I have never been on the rides but it always seems busy.

This place will always remind me of childhood. There is a ton of novelty shops to pick up cheesy tee shirts and tourist things of that nature. There’s food galore– though none of it is healthy. Watch out for the brave seagulls that will dive bomb you and snatch your french fries! There’s bars to drink and people watch– one of my favorite past times. There’s carnival rides for kids and video games. It’s kept clean and well maintained.

Came here for the first time for the Fourth of July weekend with my girlfriend for vacation and it was certainly a site. We didn’t even walk the entire boardwalk but there are plenty of cool shops and bars. You will never be bored here. It is a very clean Boardwalk and seemed very kid friendly with plenty of games and rides. There are many cool places to eat as well. We will certain be refining again upon our next visit to ocean city.

I been to several boardwalks in my lifetime and I have to say I really enjoyed this one.
Its very pretty and well kept.
They have the usual stores that sell t-​shirts with sayings and souvenirs but also cute shops that sold interesting items.
Now lets talk about food, they had such great variety of food. French fries, frozen custard, donuts, Hawaiian shaved ice and the usual items like funnel cake, caramel apples. I wanted to try everything but I wasn’t even hungry so I only got to try a few items.
They also have rides and carnival games for the whole family.

Fun to walk around and check out all the shops and grab a nibble from the ample assortment of resteraunts. I can’t wait to go back.

Well kept. Nice little shops. Several food options.
Lots of places for the kids or adults to play!
