Summer Sunsets: Where to Dine with the Most Magnificent Views

Want a laid-back atmosphere with incredible views? Fish Tales delivers on every front. Overlooking the bay on 21st Street, this vibrant waterfront spot offers something for the whole family: cold drinks, daily specials, a kids playground, and a front-row seat to one of the best sunset views in town. Just looking to soak in the atmosphere? Grab a seat in the Adirondack chairs along the dock for the most relaxing spot to watch the sun go down.

Delicious bites, views, and atmosphere, Sneaky Pete's is the spot. Nestled on the water outside of Hooper’s Crab House right off of the Route 50 bridge, this outdoor dock-style restaurant has everything you need for the ultimate summer evening. Perched right on the bay, it's a prime spot to watch the sky change as the sun sets over the water. Start your meal with the Riptide Roll (a personal favorite) or dig right into all-you-can-eat crabs, all while enjoying front-row golden hour views over the bay.

If you are looking for an escape within Ocean City, The Hobbit should be at the top of your list. Tucked away on the bay at 81st Street, this spot pairs inventive American cuisine and fresh seafood with panoramic bayfront views. It's the perfect backdrop for a nice dinner, a celebration, or simply grabbing a drink at the bar while the sun is setting over the bay.

If you haven’t experienced a Fager’s sunset, now is your chance! Every evening, the setting sun is celebrated with Tchaikovsky "1812 Overture" cannon blasts, and lights. The sunset here is just as much of a spectacle as the food.  Fager’s Island is a go-to spot for any occasion, whether you're in the mood for casual relaxed dining or an elegant fine-dining experience. Be sure to try their fresh seafood or famous Prime Rib on your next visit!

A rooftop overlooking the water, what more could you ask for on a night out? Spain Wine Bar is renowned for its gourmet tapas and spectacular views. This one-of-a-kind restaurant in Ocean City transports you the moment you step through the doors. Gather your group of friends, share some tapas, or even try the paella for an immersive experience and take in those sunset views.
