Are you visiting Ocean City, Maryland, and looking for the top things to do in town? At the Boardwalk Hotel Group, we know how to have fun, and want all of our guests to make memories that will last a lifetime during their beach vacation!

This is why our local experts have rounded up the best ways to enjoy your oceanfront vacation.  Here are the top five things that are a must-do when you book your stay to our favorite beach town!

  1. Enjoy Biking on the Boardwalk

What’s your favorite thing to do before you hit the sand? Wake up and hit the boards to enjoy a leisurely bike ride on the iconic Ocean City Boardwalk. Not an early bird? No problem! The Ocean City Mayor and Council voted to extend the hours that bicycles are allowed on the Boardwalk until 2:00 pm daily.

Check out local bike shops to rent your ride, or bring your own from home! Our personal favorite local shop? Dandy Don’s Bike Rentals! Dandy Don’s is conveniently located in the same building as the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel, and offers a wide variety of bicycles for everyone, including beach cruisers, surreys, banana bikes, and Ocean City’s only “Boardwalk Cars”!

 

  1. Relax with Unmatched Views

Which do you prefer, a breathtaking sunrise, or an unforgettable sunset? Luckily for you, when you visit OCMD, you don’t have to choose! Watch the sunrise from your oceanfront hotel room, and head to a bayside restaurant or bar in the evening to watch the sun go down over the bay. Can’t wait until you visit? Check out our Ocean City Live beach cams for real-time views from our BHG Hotels and beyond!
