Ocean City extends along a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and Isle of Wight Bay on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, a setting that transformed a small coastal settlement into a major seaside resort. Its three-mile Boardwalk, first built in 1902, follows the oceanfront and remains at the centre of summer life, with shops, amusement rides and public events. Broad beaches meet bayside marinas and watersports, while Assateague Island National Seashore lies just south of town, renowned for its free-roaming horses. Ocean City also has a strong offshore-fishing identity and hosts the White Marlin Open, a major tournament.
