Safety & Emergency · Ocean City, Maryland

What should I do if a child gets lost in Ocean City?

Answer

Contact Ocean City Police and nearby lifeguards or Boardwalk staff immediately with a clothing description and last seen location. Stay at a clear meetup landmark if that was your plan. Teach kids to find a uniformed employee rather than leaving the area with a stranger.
