Ocean City, Maryland: Family-Friendly Boardwalk next to the Atlantic

Along Ocean City’s century-old boardwalk, you can savor wild-caught blue crab, play old-fashioned arcade games, and watch candy makers spin colorful saltwater taffy. The lively boardwalk, which stretches for 3 miles along Maryland’s eastern shore, helped earn Ocean City a spot on USA Today’s list of the "10 great places to have some fun on a boardwalk." Kids can ride a ferris wheel, carousel, and many other amusements at Jolly Roger at the Pier.

Assateague Island National Seashore—a 37-mile stretch of salt marshes running from Ocean City down to Virginia—offers a peaceful reprieve from the boardwalk’s constant activity. The island’s famous wild horses gallop on the shores, and you can can climb up a vintage, candy-striped lighthouse, or hike the seaside forests to spot birds, including great horned owls, ruby-crowned kinglets, and great blue herons.

The room was spacious and clean. I had an ocean view so I was able to look down at the boardwalk and the ocean. It was fantastic. I was there during the virus and was very satisfied. I only had contact with the front desk, and she was very nice, but I didn’t need much. It’s great to go off season because of the rate. I also liked the direct access right to the boardwalk from the hotel. Overall, I’m glad I choose this hotel.

Outstanding!! We have been coming to the Howard Johnson on 12th Street for at least 10 years!! The location is perfect right on the boardwalk and the beach. The rooms are comfortable and always clean!! The staff provides world-class service and they go the extra mile!! We love the hot tub and indoor pool especially when we stay outside of the summer months. We leave happy and relaxed!!
