Even More to Enjoy While in Town

Go Surfing

Ocean City is home to pretty great surf. Though the winter often treats our ocean to larger waves, there is still an ocean of fun to be had during the summer! In fact, June is a great time to learn because the swells are manageable and the beach isn’t jam-packed. Bring your boards to town or rent them from one of our surf shops like K-Coast or Malibu’s.

Ride Bikes on the Boardwalk

Biking on the boardwalk is an Ocean City rite of passage! Spend a morning in town renting bikes from Bike World and enjoying the nearly 3 mile stretch from the Inlet to 27th Street. Bike World offers a variety of rental options, with everything from regular bicycles to surreys, fun cycles, choppers, and even tandems! Grab your rentals from one of their five locations: Caroline Street, 1st Street, 8th Street, 18th Street, and 27th Street.
