There’s no better time to enjoy the sweet taste of summer than August in Ocean City. And this year, the Harrison Group is celebrating National Peach Month with a delicious lineup of peach-inspired food and drinks at restaurants and pool bars throughout our Ocean City hotels. For the Harrison family, peaches are more than just a summertime favorite. They’re part of our history.
Long before the Harrison Group became a collection of oceanfront hotels and restaurants, the Harrison family’s roots were planted in agriculture on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Harrison Brothers Nurseries became known for its peaches, making the fruit an important part of the family’s story.
Today, more than a century later, we’re bringing a little of that history to the table.
A Peach-Filled Ocean City Getaway
One of the best things about staying at a Harrison Group hotel is having great food, refreshing drinks, and memorable experiences right where you are staying.
This Peach Month, several of our hotels are getting into the spirit with special peach-inspired cocktails, appetizers, entrées, and desserts. So whether you’re staying oceanfront, relaxing by the pool, or looking for dinner after a day on the beach, you don’t have to go far to enjoy a taste of summer.
Harrison’s Harbor Watch
Start your Peach Month adventure at the Ocean City Inlet at Harrison’s Harbor Watch, where you can enjoy spectacular views along with two peach-inspired favorites.
The Life’s a Peach cocktail combines jalapeño-infused tequila, peach simple syrup, grapefruit, soda, and lime for a refreshing drink with just the right amount of sweetness and a little kick. Pair it with the Peach Bourbon Salmon, featuring fresh Atlantic salmon roasted and finished with a peach bourbon glaze.
The Wedge
Located at the Ocean City Inlet, The Wedge is another great place to enjoy Peach Month while taking in panoramic views of the ocean, bay, and Assateague Island.
Cool down with the Peaches & Cream Cocktail, a frozen combination of peach schnapps, rum, ice cream mix, and whipped cream. For dessert, try the Peach Honey Hot Cheesecake for a sweet way to finish your meal.
Stay at the Hilton Oceanfront and Taste Peach Month
If you’re staying at the Hilton Ocean City Oceanfront Suites at 32nd Street, you can enjoy two Peach Month destinations without leaving the property.
32 Palm
At 32 Palm, peaches take center stage with a cocktail, appetizer, flatbread, entrée, and dessert. Start with the Peach on the Beach, featuring vodka, peach schnapps, peach nectar, cranberry juice, and orange juice.
For something to share, try the Grilled Peach & Burrata Crostini, topped with caramelized peaches, creamy burrata, fresh basil, hot honey, and balsamic glaze.
The Peach Summertime Flatbread combines sliced peaches with herb-whipped goat cheese, arugula, honey, and reduced balsamic.
Looking for something heartier? The Sticky Southern Peach Glazed Ribs feature tender, slow-cooked baby back ribs finished with a sweet Southern peach BBQ sauce. And for dessert, the Bourbon Peach Cobbler pairs bourbon-kissed peaches with a buttery golden cobbler crust, vanilla ice cream, and caramel sauce.
Mañana Mode
You don’t even have to leave the Hilton pool to celebrate Peach Month. At Mañana Mode Pool Bar & Grill, located oceanfront at the Hilton on 32nd Street, grab a Peach Cosmo made with peach purée, peach vodka, peach schnapps, lime juice, and cranberry juice.
It’s the perfect drink to enjoy while relaxing poolside, taking in the ocean views, or simply embracing the Mañana Mode philosophy: slow down, relax, and enjoy the moment.
Stay at the Holiday Inn & Suites and Keep the Peach Celebration Going
Located at 17th Street and the Boardwalk, the Holiday Inn & Suites Ocean City puts you right in the middle of the action—and Peach Month is no exception.
Coral Reef Restaurant & Bar
Start your evening at Coral Reef Restaurant & Bar, located right inside the Holiday Inn & Suites. The Bourbon Peach Iced Tea combines Bulleit bourbon, peach purée, and iced tea for a refreshing cocktail with a little Southern flair.
Then finish your meal with the Peach Honey Hot Cheesecake, a sweet and seasonal way to end the night.
Deep End Pool Bar
When it’s time to relax, head to the Deep End Pool Bar, located at the Holiday Inn & Suites along the Boardwalk.
The Bourbon Peach Iced Tea is also featured here, making it easy to enjoy Peach Month while soaking up the sun and taking in the ocean views.
Pair it with the Peach Honey Hot Cheesecake for a little something sweet between trips to the beach and pool.
Peach Month at the Holiday Inn Oceanfront
Further north on Coastal Highway, the Holiday Inn Oceanfront at 67th Street offers another way to enjoy Peach Month without ever leaving the property.
The Original Pool Bar
Spend the afternoon poolside at The Original Pool Bar, Ocean City’s iconic oceanfront pool bar.
The Peach Month special is Tito’s Peach Tea, made with Tito’s vodka, peach schnapps, and iced tea. It’s an easy, refreshing cocktail that pairs perfectly with a sunny afternoon by the pool.
With the beach just steps away and the oceanfront pool deck right outside your room, it’s a quintessential Ocean City summer experience.
From the Orchard to the Ocean
For the Harrison Group, Peach Month is about more than creating seasonal menu items. It’s a chance to celebrate where we came from.
The Harrison family’s story began with agriculture, orchards, and peaches on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Eventually, that family history led to Ocean City and the opening of Harrison Hall in 1951, beginning the hospitality tradition that continues today.
More than 70 years later, the family business has grown from one Ocean City hotel into a collection of hotels, restaurants, and pool bars—but the connection to our roots remains. This August, you can taste a little piece of that history for yourself.
Stay at the Hilton Oceanfront on 32nd Street and enjoy Peach Month at 32 Palm and Mañana Mode. Stay at the Holiday Inn & Suites on 17th Street and discover peach-inspired specials at Coral Reef and Deep End. Or head north to the Holiday Inn Oceanfront on 67th Street for a Tito’s Peach Tea at The Original Pool Bar.
And, of course, you can always make a trip to the Inlet for peach-inspired favorites at Harrison’s Harbor Watch and The Wedge.
From the orchard to the ocean, peaches have been part of the Harrison story for generations. This August, we invite you to be part of that story—and taste it for yourself.
