It's 10 miles of beautifully kept, family-friendly ocean beach. And it's absolutely free - the way beaches should be!

Ocean City, Maryland's beaches are perfect for swimming and sunning, for surfing and fishing, for kayaking and canoeing. During the summer, you'll find free family activities six nights a week, including concerts, movies, even Beach Olympics!

And when you're ready for more fun, one of America's best boardwalks (as ranked by the Travel Channel) is only a few steps away. Get out early for an invigorating bike ride, shop an endless variety of stores, or head for the arcades and amusements.

Build a sandcastle. Hit the waves. Or just kick back and relax. Ocean City's beaches are proof that the best things in life are free - and a major reason for you to get to OC ASAP.
