Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Downtown Ocean City?
The best time to visit Downtown Ocean City is during the shoulder seasons of late May to mid-June and early September to mid-October.

Families will find these times particularly appealing. The weather is generally pleasant, superb for enjoying the beach and the boardwalk without the intense summer crowds. Many attractions, shops, and restaurants are fully operational, but you'll experience shorter queues and more relaxed service. The ocean water is warm enough for swimming, especially in early September.

Couples looking for a more relaxed trip will also appreciate the shoulder seasons. You can enjoy strolls along the boardwalk, leisurely dinners at the many excellent restaurants, and explore the unique shops on Asbury Avenue without feeling rushed.
