Traveler advice
Getting around
Use the Crosswalks!
When crossing Coastal Highway, use the crosswalks. From our condo, walk north one block. There is a stop light and crosswalk that takes you straight to the beach, a 5 minute walk. If you’d rather not drive, you can take the bus! It runs from the boardwalk to North Ocean City and back. Frequency of service is approximately every 20 minutes. Only $3 to "Ride -All-Day." $3 ride-all-day tickets are transferable to the Coastal Highway and Park and Ride Buses, valid from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 a.m. the next morning!
What to pack
Beach Stuff!
Bathing suits, beach towels, a sweatshirt or jacket (sometimes nights are cool), Flip Flops AND tennis shoes. Some of the boardwalk rides require closed-toed shoes. Sunscreen, sunglasses, clothes for relaxing, clothes for dancing?! And if you forget anything, just head to Sunsations!
