Ocean City Sand Castles · Ocean City, Maryland

Do beach tags cover sand-castle play?

Answer

Beach tags grant ocean-beach access where Town rules apply—castle play follows the same hours, dune crossover rules, and Patrol guidance as swimming. Building on private or restricted access is never allowed.
