Ocean City Surf Fishing Permits · Ocean City, Maryland

Is a Town beach tag the same as a fishing permit?

Answer

Beach tags often cover swimming access—not fishing rights. Fishing compliance is primarily Maryland DNR plus Town conduct rules near guarded beaches.

Driving on the Boardwalk is a separate Town authorization—not a surfing or casting tip. See Boardwalk vehicle permit only if your use truly qualifies.
