Boardwalk Performers & Rules · Ocean City, Maryland

Can performers work on the beach instead of the Boardwalk?

Answer

Beach performance falls under separate Town beach ordinances—amplification, staking equipment, and crowd limits differ from plank rules. Lifeguard zones and swimming corridors always take priority. Most working buskers stay on the Boardwalk where foot traffic is predictable.
