Beach Tags & Access Rules · Ocean City, Maryland

Is the Ocean City beach free to walk onto?

Answer

Public ocean beach access points along Ocean City’s numbered streets generally do not charge a Town beach-tag fee at the walkway. You may still pay for parking, chair rentals, or amenities. Private associations and clubs along the coast are not the same as the public beach strand.
