Is parking free in Ocean City?

Q: Is parking free in Ocean City?

Free parking is limited in peak Ocean City season. Some residential or off-peak windows exist, but do not plan a Boardwalk Saturday on “I’ll find free curb space.” Meters and lots charge by zone and hour; hotel garages may add nightly fees even when the room rate looks cheap. ADA placard rules still require following posted time limits where applicable. Budget parking like a meal line item—confirm posted rules on oceancitymd.gov parking , then see meter apps and your hotel’s written parking policy.
