Answer
Ocean City’s numbered streets generally increase as you head north from the Inlet, with Coastal Highway running parallel to the beach grid. Meetups like “45th Street” usually mean the oceanfront block; confirm bayside versus oceanfront before you send a pin. GPS sometimes drops pins on the highway instead of your hotel driveway.
