Ocean City Maryland - Best Family Beach fun.
We have been on a lot of family vacations through the years but none is more fun than Ocean City. When you go across the Draw bridge into the city. You will not believe how beautiful it really is. Everything from the streets to the hotels are done up so nicely. Just wait till you view there Boardwalk. The Hotels along the Boardwalk are where we stay and there is nothing quite like it. Our balcony over looked the pool, Boardwalk and the Ocean beach. Let me tell you, It's a sight you wont soon forget.
Our trip included my wife (Tammy) and our 14yr. old son Dylan. Your first thought is to explore the boardwalk. Which is exactly what we did. The Boardwalk is really long and has so many sights to see. We took time to see the Ocean pier with its amusement park built out on it. If your going to do this with kids, give yourself some time. It even has Ripley's believe it or not. After a full day of this, looking in beach shops and eating till you bust. It was time to head back to our room. We were happy but also tired. Thank heavens they have a Tram service that cruises up and down the boardwalk. You can jump on it anytime you like and it is not a big expense. Sitting back on it and viewing the Boardwalk,Ocean and people is a pleasure all its own.
If you like the Beach, you'll love this about it to. There sand is real soft and great for Sand castle building. My son did this on our second day and had hours of fun. Yes, Mom and Dad joined in. It's a good family time and makes for great pictures too. The Ocean water is usually really refreshing because the water temperature is in the high 70s or low 80s, maybe, in Midsummer. Temperatures can be cooler in early and late Season. Waves are always big enough for surfing on a board, raft or just plain body surfing. I know we had fun. If your not into Ocean swimming then relax in the pool. Almost all Hotel pools overlook the Boardwalk and people going by. Sometimes sitting back, relaxing and just looking around is a pleasure for me.
You may want to take time out from the Beach and Boardwalk some days. We did this on a couple of occasions and found it was just as much fun. Ocean City State park is a great place to go. There things for anyone to do. Everything from Boat Rides, fishing or something you may want to try(Crabbing). Yes you read right, Crabbing. They showed us how to tie a piece of Chicken on a string and lower it into the water off the Docks. This was quite interesting, because after just a few minutes, our Son was pulling Ocean crabs up while they held onto this Chicken. This by far is the weirdest look you will ever see on your Kids face. A must DO, They'll think it great.
Another Day we took a ride on the main Street of town. We found a Water Park with many slides and had a great time for the Day. You may want to play one of the many Goofy Golf courses on the main drag. There is always something for all ages to do.
Maybe. Just maybe. We'll see you there sometime. Hopefully I do because we will be back sometime. Hope you have a Great Summer, Thomas Clinton - http://beachvacationsgetaways.com
