Answer
Ocean City grew as a Mid-Atlantic seaside resort in the late 19th and 20th centuries, expanding along the Fenwick Island spit with hotels, a Boardwalk, and fishing heritage. Storms and inlet changes reshaped the landscape and economy. Today it remains Maryland’s premier Atlantic beach destination.
