Ocean City Maryland - what a great, unique vacation beach resort! The weather in Ocean City is warm and inviting, the ocean and white sand beaches sparkling.

Boardwalk trams can take you the whole length of the boardwalk, which travels from the Inlet to the North Booth at 27th Street.

In 1869, businessman Isaac Coffin built the first beach-front cottage to receive paying guests.

Prior to 1870, what is now Ocean City was known as "The Ladies' Resort to the Ocean."

The Atlantic Hotel, the first major hotel in the town, opened July 4, 1875.

The Ocean City Inlet was formed during a major hurricane in 1933, which also destroyed the train tracks across the Sinepuxent Bay. The inlet separated what is now Ocean City from Assateague Island.

In 1952, with the completion of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, Ocean City became easily accessible to people in the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area.

In 2002, Ocean City undertook the most recent of many, multi-million dollar, beach restoration programs, in an attempt to slow the westward migration of its beaches.

The program pumped tons of sand from offshore and deposited it onto the beach.

Ocean City now extends just over 9 miles (~15 km) from the southern inlet to the Delaware line.

The strip now supports hotels, motels, apartment houses, shopping centers, residential communities, and condominiums.

Chesapeake Bay Bridge - it connects the state's Eastern and Western Shore regions.

At 4.3 miles (7 km) in length, the original span was the world's longest continuous over-
water steel structure when it opened in 1952.

Approximately 27 million vehicles traveled the bridge during Fiscal Year 2007.

Sandy Point State Park - This 786 acre park on the Chesapeake Bay opened on June 25, 1952,

The park offers recreational activities like swimming, fishing, crabbing, boating and windsurfing.

The park's beaches and picnic areas provide unparalleled views of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge over the Chesapeake Bay as well as frequent passing of seagoing freighters and sailing regattas.
