We Asked, You Answered: Favorite Spring Break Activities

No trip to Ocean City feels complete without a bucket of Thrasher’s! Known for their signature vinegar topping, Thrasher’s has been a boardwalk staple for generations. There’s something about standing on the boardwalk, fries in hand, watching the ocean while you snack that just feels like Ocean City. This is a must no matter the time of year you’re here, but especially during spring break! Just remember: no ketchup here, only vinegar!

One of the best ways to kick off the spring season in Ocean City is by heading to Springfest. Held each spring at the Inlet, this four-day event brings together live music, local art, food vendors, and plenty of ways to enjoy the warmer weather. You can wander through rows of handmade crafts, grab something delicious to eat, and catch a concert while the ocean breeze rolls in.

Here’s everything to know about Springfest!

When visiting Ocean City, a walk along the boardwalk is a must! Stretching for over two miles alongside the ocean, the boardwalk is packed with shops, restaurants, arcades, and so much more. You can hustle up the boardwalk to get a workout in, or go the more leisurely route and spend time browsing shops and grabbing a treat or two along your journey. Some stops to check out include Malibu’s Surf Shop, Quiet Storm, Sportland Arcade, Fun City Arcade, Coastal Salt, and Flamingo Coast!

If you’re looking for a classic beach town activity, spend some time at Jolly Roger. With a roller coaster, spinning rides, games, and plenty of lights and music, it’s a place that feels just as exciting for adults as it does for kids. It’s a fun way to add a little adventure to your spring break!

One of the simplest pleasures in Ocean City is hopping on a bike and riding to the beach. Many visitors bring bikes or rent them from Bike World, making it easy to cruise around. Bike rides are a great way to start the morning or wind down in the evening, and they make getting to the beach feel like an adventure.

In Ocean City, you can catch both the sunrise and the sunset over the water! The bayside sunsets are just as beautiful as the ocean sunrises. Head toward the bay in the evening and you’ll see the sky light up with shades of orange, pink, and purple reflecting off the water. It’s a peaceful way to end a busy day of spring break fun! Some popular spots to watch the sunset include Saltwater 75, Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill, Northside Park, Sunset Park, Bayside Park at 3rd Street, or aboard Sail Alyosha and the Bay Hopper!

Kite flying is an activity that has been beloved by generations, and it’s a great thing to add to your spring break activity list. With wide open sand and steady ocean breezes, Ocean City is the perfect place to let a kite from The Kite Loft soar high above the beach! It’s fun, relaxing, and a great way to spend a sunny afternoon in OC.
