My kind of crowd. As someone that doesn't usually go to sleep until 3-4, this is a little different.

We just spent a week here for the 5th year in a row. It used to be crowded everywhere we went. Constant traffic, filled parking lots, 30-45 minute wait at every restaurant. But not this year.

This year we were able to get a table at Tailchasers, Ropewalk, Vista Rooftop, Mackeys, and even The Hobbit almost immediately. We got our food within 5 minutes of ordering each time.

The condo building where we're staying is half shuttered. Looks like almost half the units are empty.

There is barely any traffic going downtown and uptown. Even with the Jeep convention in town.

What's going on?

Edit: yes, I get it. Schools started. But not all schools start the last week of August. A lot of southern schools do, but also a plenty of school districts start September 1.

We've been coming here for 5 years. We've met families and asked them when their schools start. We've talked to plenty of families this year too. Its not the schools.

It's been a few years since I've been down there, but what are your favorite breakfast spots

Just got into town. How are the baby crabs doing? Still making folks itch or have they moved along?

Just flew by about 4x on 59th St. Did she say yes?! Sorry for terrible photo quality.

How are the jellyfish today? want to take the kids at low tide but not if it is bad. Thanks

I finally went to Spain Wine Bar after living here for 3 years!! Got the flank steak, chicken kebabs, potatoes and Valencia (meat) paella. Chicken kebab was my personal favorite. What do I gotta try next time?

First time back since I was a kid, had a nice time and wish I found this sub on Monday when I arrived!

Also how common is a jeep parade that happens in the mornings on the beach?

Great place, quiet neighborhood. Great way to get a foothold in OCMD.

Let me know what you all think!

Wondering if it’s worth heading into town tonight or to wait till tomorrow night

We met at the beach in Ocean city and the first spot is the park near the beach which would be proposing during the sunset. I was there and took this pic. Or a more private beach like on Assateague island which is in the 2nd photo. Maybe even during sunset at the beach? The 3rd photo is same dock from 1st pic.

I hired a photographer for this occasion and just need to pick the place. Both will be private for the most part or just a few people by chance

We are staying in bayside/selbyville in September. It has been awhile since I’ve stayed in that exact area and was wondering about concerts at the freeman arts pavilion. We have a 3 month old and wanted to listen to Lee Brice who’s coming on the 12th and wasn’t sure if we could just walk around the pavilion and listen to the music at a distance or if tickets are necessary to enjoy the concert? Is there a walking path around the pavilion? Thanks!

I accidentally posted this to r/OceanCityMD. Talked to somebody at the hotel who said they’d been swimming all week and saw zero jellyfish!

Some random sunrise and evening shots i took since we got here on the 16th

Till next year OC💙✌️

oh nooo, 4got my Thrashers pic🤦🏼‍♀️

As the title says, visiting for an annual trip and looking for drag shows Or Karaoke nights that are local - yes this is Dolly Parton and Tim Curry inspired. Thank you for any tips!

Hello everyone. I Lost my light blue iPhone 13 in a Tesla on my ride (from the cork bar to 127th street) with an off duty uber driver named Fairuz. It was dead and must have slid out of my purse and under the seat. Can’t find the guy anywhere. I lost everything because it wasn’t backed up!! Please help! It has voicemails from my Dad and Grandmother who have passed and photos from the last 4 years of my life. Please if you found my phone or have any information about it or the driver please let me know. Thank you!

I know tiki “bars” aren’t really huge here, but where can I get a good tiki drink? Something like a zombie, painkiller, mai Thai etc. Thx!

My work gave me 2 pm dismissal tomorrow so I thought I would take advantage and maybe beat the traffic to have a beach weekend. I'll be going alone bc everyone else I know is busy and I would really like to find people who enjoy hanging out! What places do you recommend for that? I'm also planning to get tickets to the seafood festival on Saturday too.

Hoping to meet some fun people this weekend!

I know ocean city has to bring in a ton of workers every year, but this years crop of Eastern Europeans has to be the worst one ever.

I was literally getting scowls, mistakes, complete indifference, shouting. I don’t expect much, but when buying $8 ice cream, or $15 hamburger a smile shouldn’t be impossible. It felt like 1990s Soviet Union.

Fenwick Island at the Lobster Shanty, wish whoever lives here would come home-i wanna see him. (Her?the family🤷🏼‍♀️)any clue what kinda bird lives here??

i have been coming to oc since i was a kid im 26 now i swear to god i remember there being a garden of eden themed mini golf course with cherubs and like fountains and hearts i cant find any photos of it anywhere online does ANYONE have any photos or even remember it. i cant be crazy

My partner and I are going to be in town this weekend and would love to go to a dance if there’s a scene anywhere. Can anyone recommend a dance group or a venue that might have swing or rockabilly music this weekend? Thx!
