Ocean City Fishing Piers · Ocean City, Maryland

Is night fishing allowed on Ocean City piers?

Answer

Several piers run explicit night-fishing sessions under lights when weather and staffing allow—productive for summer species and cooler decks. Wear a headlamp, watch rail gaps, and secure tackle from wind. Confirm the pier is open after dark on your exact date; do not walk unlit structures.
