Ocean City is many things to many people. It’s summer traditions, spontaneous road trips, nostalgic memories, a place where the smell of Thrasher's fries and the sound of the ocean feel like coming home. But there is so much to do, see, and experience in Ocean City, that sometimes things go undiscovered. With our brand-new social series, Only in Ocean City, we set out to showcase the personality, adventure, and community of the town. It premieres today, April 3rd, on social! Check it out on Instagram and Facebook at @OceanCityMaryland.

Introducing Only in Ocean City

Back to Top of List

To help us kick off this series, we invited Stephanie Pratt to town to take on six curated challenges all in a single day! The challenges were designed to showcase the unexpected experiences and one-of-a-kind moments that make this destination unlike anywhere else. And there's something extra special on the line: if Stephanie completes all six challenges, $5,000 will be donated to Diakonia, a local nonprofit that provides food assistance, housing support, and essential resources to neighbors in need right here in our community.

Expect Lots of Local Businesses

Throughout the series, Stephanie’s six challenges take her all around Ocean City and introduce her to a number of local businesses. She experiences sky high adventure with Ocean City Plane Rides and Sea Rocket, some tasty treats at a number of boardwalk classics (think Dumser’s, Dolle’s, and Thrasher’s!), some thrilling time on the water with Aqua Cars, and she even learns how to be a true local with Maryland-style challenges at Blu Crabhouse & Raw Bar and Seacrets!

More Than a Beach Town

Only in Ocean City blends entertainment with genuine discovery, as this was Stephanie’s very first visit to town! It’s safe to say that she was won over during her trip. She came in expecting a classic beach town and left with a completely different perspective, describing Ocean City as a place full of energy, warmth, and local beauty. That reaction is exactly what this series is all about. We know what OC means to those of us who love it, and Only in Ocean City is about showing you even more about the town.
