Casual seafood spots and pizza joints keep hungry beachgoers fueled between adventures. The area is extremely walkable with seasonal jitney shuttles connecting beach points when your feet need a break.

The boardwalk comes alive with carnival games and funnel cake stands where families make summer memories. You'll find plenty of pizza joints and seafood spots with ocean views when hunger strikes. Most accommodations are family-friendly motels and beachfront hotels with easy beach access.

Finding your ideal spot is easy with vacation rentals ranging from modest to upscale beach homes. When hunger strikes, you'll need to venture toward Ocean City's main areas for dining options.

Learn more about Ocean City

A family-friendly seaside paradise where the boardwalk stretches for 2.5 miles of pure nostalgic pleasure. Take a spin on the Ferris wheel at Playland's Castaway Cove for Atlantic Ocean views that explain why generations return each summer. The wooden planks host an irresistible parade of saltwater taffy shops and arcade games at Jilly's, where children still beg for 'just one more quarter.' Ocean City Beach offers guarded swimming without the distraction of alcohol sales – this dry town has maintained its wholesome character since 1879. After sundown, families compete at Pirate Island Golf before returning to the boardwalk for soft-serve ice cream. Come fall, locals reclaim their paradise while insisting the ocean is actually warmer than in summer.

The Coral Sands Motel

The Coral Sands Motel

10/10 Excellent
"The room was perfectly clean. There was fresh - newish? - tile on the bathroom floor and walls, newish flooring in the room, and newish ceiling tile. The bed wasn’t great but was really fine. The microwave, tv were handy and the 2 mini fridges were evidently just cleaned. The window on the sea side (2 blocks down) opened wide with a good screen and great breeze. Our dog was welcomed by host and fellow guests - most of whom also had dogs. Front office staff — we met two shifts of staff - were very warm and friendly and helpful. However, first impression of front office was a tiny dingy hole - could be spruced up just to make you feel you arrived somewhere that in good shape. Also there were bags of trash at the foot of the guest stairs - would have been nice if they had been in trash cans or bins of some kind. Great that there was parking. Our car just fit but if you have a wider vehicle it wil be a tight squeeze. Overall, terrific value for money, we’d go back."

"Well priced, clean rooms, hot showers, updated bathrooms, decent swimming pool, plentiful parking, and close to shops and boardwalk. It was honestly a lot better than what previous reviews made the place out to be. Family stayed the first night and we stayed through the weekend. 10/10 would come back and recommend to others."

8/10 Good
"It was fine for one night. But the room was SMALL and we found they had more of the same rooms available for close to $100 less than we paid. It was clean enough. No staff to speak of except for a remote dude talking to you from who knows where. It’s kinda feels like someone bought an old hotel and flipped it to make it look more modern?"

"We loved the cleanliness of this hotel. Loved that it was updated too. Parking was a plus. The shampoo, conditioner and soap station was great having it there for convenience, but they were empty. We absolutely love this place! Will come back often!!!"
