Beaches & Swimming · Ocean City, Maryland

Can people swim near surf fishermen?

Answer

Ocean City manages beach uses so swimming, surfing, and fishing areas may be separated by time, location, or seasonal practice. Give anglers space around lines and respect any posted zone markers. Check current Town / Beach Patrol guidance if you plan both activities the same morning.
