Beaches & Swimming · Ocean City, Maryland

Can I stay on the beach at night?

Answer

Beach hours and overnight rules are set by the Town and may restrict sleeping, open flames, or after-hours presence on the sand. Boardwalk nightlife is separate from camping on the beach. Check current Town beach regulations before sunset sand plans.
