Fishing · Ocean City, Maryland

Do I need a beach vehicle for surf fishing in Ocean City?

Answer

Ocean City’s town beach is not an ORV driving beach like designated Assateague zones. Most anglers walk on with carts or fish from jetties and piers where allowed. Assateague ORV access requires separate permits and rules—check NPS / Maryland Park Service guidance.
