As with nearly the entire Jersey Shore, the main attraction lies along the sands and the boardwalk that beckon residents and visitors alike to come enjoy and forget about their regular daily lives, even for just a little while. Remember though prior to sticking your toes in the sand and the surf, Ocean City does require beach tags. In the interest of safety, it is wise to make sure the beach you wish to enjoy is guarded before entering into the water.
Ocean City also holds a variety of events during the summer months that are sure to entertain all who partake in them.
