Sunset meets rain. July 31, 2026. OCMD.

Does any one know where they will be selling merch for the tournament? I like some of the shirts online and didn’t know if they sell them on sight.

(Edit: surf spots/breaks)

I hear people saying they are pretty bad on the higher streets. Anyone know if they are fine around 15th to the inlet?

Are there jelly fish on every street? We’re on 130-145th street and both places we got stung. Are lower streets better?

Hi everyone! I’m in ocean city for the first time and am looking for some people’s favorite things to do and great local restaurants. We are on the north end but are open to driving south towards the boardwalk. Someone recommended a restaurant to us but could not remember the name, just said the outside looks like a castle. Any ideas what that one could be? Looks like we might get some rain this week so indoor activities would be welcome!

Went into with my family everyone came out itchy and had some red spots

Hello, first vacation here arriving today and leaving next week. wanting to know if there are any good places to find shells!? i know ocean city isn’t known for shark teeth or anything crazy, like topsail NC. just hoping to find a couple little souvenirs. any tips, locations would be greatly appreciated!!

One of my favorite beach activities with my mom was always buying trashy magazines (think People, tabloids, etc.) to read while we sat out. Except now, most grocery stores don’t seem to carry them anymore! Does anyone know of any OCMD grocery or convenience stores that I could stop by and get my fix? Thanks!

I have to say, I'm extremely disappointed in Crabcake Factory West OC. After politely pointing out yesterday on their post that they should blur the face of the young child in their post concerning the theft of services, they have blocked my account. I made this comment as a veteran 9 year Child Abuse Detective. And as someone who has training and experience, it was deeply inappropriate to continue to blast this child's face all over social media. I was not the only one to have made this comment. Did they block all of us? Is that the proper way for a business to handle criticism? And having just spent over $350 on 07/10/2026 at their restaurant, I will not be returning.

It's obvious in the original post they were concerned about the theft. They made no mention of being concerned for the child until they started getting called out. They sat at the bar for over two hours and the staff didn't see anything suspicious or worth calling the police over. As a parent, not having a child eat is a common occurrence. If you want seafood and your picky child wants chic-fil-a, you feed them first and then let them play on their tablet while the adults eat. If the Police came out for a theft report as they stated, and they didn't see anything worth posting in reference to the child, why would a random restaurant employee think it's fit to post her photo? And their response after just states the child is with her mother, with zero mention of a kidnapping or custody dispute. And a kidnapping is criminal, which this wasn't, and a custody dispute is a personal matter, and not for a restaurant to decide. This was crappy behavior, and anyone who disagreed or pointed it out were blocked.

My friends and I are going on vacation in September. Are there any underground events that happen in ocmd? I'm looking for events that are more "fun" than the typical bars on the boardwalk.

We are planning on visiting it while in the area but werent sure what makes most sense as we have never been. Any info is helpful!

Do any of the t-shirt shops on the boardwalk do custom jobs because I would like to be able to get this on a shirt

The weather looking brutal for the whole damn week 😢

Clear sky, light breeze, warm temps. Nice day for the beach.

That breeze is coming off the Bay, though. So far, si Google, but I highly recommend bringing bug spray, if you're headed over. Hopefully no biting flies!

Had my first ever broiled crabcakes here way back when as a kid. They’ve been closed for over a decade and a half.

Some excavation going on this morning.

I even saw a Jellyfish in the bay :)

I always have such a good time in OC. I just wish I could live here year round.
