History & Culture · Ocean City, Maryland

How have storms shaped Ocean City’s history?

Answer

Major storms and the 1933 inlet breakthrough reshaped the town’s geography and resort development. Interpretive sites and local museums explain that coastal story better than a quick beach day. Respect dune and beach protections that exist because of that history.
