You can rent a regular wheelchair at PMI Rentals at 126th Street. Call them at 410.250.1251 to find out more.

I suggest contacting Chris Parypa (646.441.0907). We have used him a few times for family portraits (one of them is below) and they always came out great. He takes a broad range of photo types and our pictures were taken in early evening, about an hour before sunset.

Fishing is always an option that can be free or inexpensive. The OC Fishing Pier at the Inlet is a fun place to go out and cast a line and you don't need to have a fishing license on their pier.

Yes, Ocean City, MD has a resident population of about 7,100 people. Most of them live in OC year round. Many more people list west of the Coastal Bays in Berlin, Ocean Pines, and other nearby communities.

Yes, there is a bus route that travels from the bus station at South Division Street across the Route 50 bridge west to the OC Park and Ride lot. This route does not always run in the deeper off season.

You cannot drive on th beach in OC without a special permit or as part of a designated special event. Occasionally there are some fishing tournaments in the off season where entrants can drive on the beach. Jeep Week (next weekend) also features a Jeep Parade down the beach in the morning. Those are about the only times the public is allowed to drive on OC's beaches.

Yes, you can bring snacks, cooler, beverages, and coolers. The only restrictions are no glass containers and no alcohol are allowed on OC's beaches.

Have a great time in OC!

Yes, you can still rent beach equipment then, but not all boxes have attendants. If the rental box closest to you is not attended, just call the number on the side of the box and they will send an attendant out to help you.

For two people one way you should have been charged $8 ($4/person for a one way ride at the 2019 Rate). You can call the transportation department that runs the trams at 410.723.2174 to see if they can help you.

During the summer shops open around 9 am.
