Ocean City
Ocean City is Maryland’s only coastal community, situated on a barrier island that, until the mid-1800s, was a barren place attracting only a few fishermen who came over from the mainland on small row boats. In 1869, a local farmer named Isaac Coffin constructed a small inn to accommodate the fishermen and others who were beginning to show an interest in the beach as a refuge from city life. Soon, other hotel properties arose and after Ocean City became incorporated in 1875, and the small fishing village was on its way to becoming a seaside vacation destination.
Today, Ocean City, Maryland is one of the East Coast’s premier destinations for living. From the boardwalk on a warm summer’s eve to the Winterfest of Lights Ocean City has properties and cultural events and activities to fit every lifestyle.
