The Boardwalk

The mind-boggling variety of attractions on Ocean City’s Boardwalk has made it a family vacation favorite since the first planks were nailed down back in the 1880s. Stretching from 1st to 23rd Street, today’s Boardwalk is two and a half miles of clean, well-maintained attractions for fun-lovers of every age – with amusement rides, arcades, miniature golf, traditional seaside snacks, casual dining and eclectic shopping.

The Boardwalk is entertainment central. In the summer months, you’ll find live music both on the boards and at the Music Pier, magicians, clowns and other strolling entertainers, art shows, and parades, for both people and pets.

South of 14th Street, the Boardwalk takes on different feel. The boards bisect a wide dune field and the majestic quiet of some of the city’s most beautiful backyard gardens. It’s a stunning place to stroll or bike. It’s a scenic platform where both vacationers and locals stroll, jog, bike, shop, snack and play amid the breathtaking beauty of blue sea and sky. Vacationing here puts you right in the middle of all the action.
