Treat the mother in your life to a great meal with a view this weekend!

Ocean City Maryland has recently garnered significant recognition, solidifying its reputation as a top-tier vacation spot on the East Coast. Let’s delve into the accolades that this coastal gem has earned and explore why it’s the ultimate destination for your next getaway!

Beach Town on the East Coast

Ocean City Maryland clinched the prestigious title of one of the best beach towns on the East Coast, as recognized by Conde Nast Traveler. This speaks volumes about the charm and allure of Ocean City’s pristine shores and vibrant atmosphere. It highlights Berlin, the nearby small town, that you can go to for less crowds and even enjoy the Sunday farmers market.

A Top U.S Beach Town

Thrillist has also recognized Ocean City’s allure, ranking it as one of the top beach towns in the entire United States. Whether you’re a sun worshipper, a water sports enthusiast, or simply seeking a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Ocean City has something for everyone. Spend the day at the beach and then when it’s time to put away the umbrella, watch the sunset and listen to live music.

25 Best Beaches in the USA

Travel + Leisure’s esteemed list of the 25 best beaches in the USA includes Ocean City, further cementing its status as a must-visit destination for beach lovers. With the Eight miles of beaches and a 3 mile boardwalk, you’ll have a jam packed vacation of fun. From amusement park rides, bike rentals, shops, to saltwater taffy there’s something for everyone. We’re so excited to be included alongside beaches in Hawaii and California!

USA Today 10 Best Summer Travel Destination Nominee

Ocean City has been nominated by USA Today 10 Best for the title of Best Summer Travel Destination, and the voting is currently underway! Cast your vote and help Ocean City secure its well-deserved place as the ultimate summer getaway. Don’t miss the chance to be part of the excitement as the winners are announced on May 22nd!

Get ready for a weekend of bull-bucking action as Professional Bull Riding returns to Ocean City on May 31st! To emphasize one of those words, these are professionals, so you won’t be riding the bulls yourself, but you’ll get to be a part of the crowd, cheering them on and having a blast.

Last year, we witnessed an unprecedented transformation as the Ocean City Inlet parking lot was turned into a colossal bull riding arena, complete with truck loads of sand bringing the stadium to life for the inaugural event. The PBR Challenger Series, sponsored by Seacrets, offers one of the most uniquely electrifying events, thanks to its proximity to the beach, ocean, and boardwalk. Where else can you find such a spectacle? Keep scrolling to continue reading and purchase tickets through the link at the bottom!

The nearby restaurants alone make the trip worth it. I was lucky enough to catch last year’s event, during which I grabbed a meal at Harbor Watch, walked over for a dose of bull-riding adrenaline, and then grabbed drinks at The Wedge. It was a perfect weekend. People of all ages honestly had a time, and boardwalk accommodations made it all the more convenient. 

Speaking of which, if you’re looking for a place to stay that weekend and don’t want to deal with the hassle of driving and parking, we’ve got a few recommendations for you!

• Harrison Hall Hotel
• Plim Plaza
• Courtyard by Marriott
• Oceanic Motel
