F.A.Q. · Ocean City MD
Sunday market and artisan browsing along the Stephen Decatur Highway corridor and downtown Ocean City—Gold Coast farmers market runs, West OC Sunday shopping, Berlin day-trip markets, parking, and how this hub differs from general farmers-market categories.
Stephen Decatur Highway links West Ocean City shops, diners, and convenience stops to downtown festival zones—Sunday mornings differ from uptown Gold Coast farmers rows. Treat corridor browsing and 115th Street produce as two trips.

The Ocean City Farmers Market at Gold Coast Mall near 115th Street runs Sunday mornings seasonally—local grower and producer rules mean in-season produce only, bought direct from vendors.

Gold Coast hours commonly run 8 a.m. to noon on Sundays in season—verify May through October schedules because weekdays are added after Memorial Day and trim after Labor Day.

Use mall lot spaces early—by 10 a.m. July Sundays fill when families combine produce runs with beach gear stops. Do not block Coastal Highway turn lanes.

Leashed dogs may be welcome in parking lots but not on all vendor rows—confirm each market rules before promising sunrise runs with beach dogs afterward.

May and October Sundays have thinner vendor lists than July—call ahead for peach, corn, and flower peaks; shoulder trips reward flexible brunch plans on Decatur Highway.
