Things to do in Ocean City

Ocean City has been Mayland’s most popular beach town for generations. Each year, many graduated seniors head down the ocean to celebrate with members of the Class of 2024 from around the state. If you are planning on heading down this summer, here are some activities to check out to make the most of your time. 

Jolly Rogers Amusement Park

Jolly Rogers is the biggest amusement park in O.C. The attractions are for all ages and not only that, they also have the largest Go-Kart facility in town. Location: 2901 Coastal Hwy, Ocean City MD (30th St)

OC Parasail

For the thrill seekers out there, parasailing is a fun activity where a person is attached to a parachute pulled by a boat. If you’re planning to do this during senior week, make sure the weather is nice, it’s not too windy, and the currents are not too rough. Locations: Sea Rocket Ocean City – OC Parasail – Inlet Sea Doos 

H20 Club for Teens

H20 Club is a popular teen nightclub in Ocean City. The best days to go are Friday or Saturday night. They open around 8:30 pm and close no later than 12:45 am. Don’t forget you have to bring an ID and the admission price is $20, but prices can vary based on the week or for special events. Location: Inside Horizons Oceanfront Restaurant, 10100 Coastal Hwy, Ocean City MD 

Jet Skiing

Jet skiing is like driving a motorcycle on the road, but instead, you’re driving a bigger motorcycle on water. Your instructor will show you how to use it, how to go fast and slow, and once they let you go, you can go as fast as you want. Location: 400 32nd St, Ocean City MD

Go Karting

For those who love driving and racing with their friends, of course, go-karting would be a great option. Location: 2901 Coastal Hwy, Ocean City MD (30th St)

Walk the Boardwalk

The Boardwalk is a great place to shop, go to arcades, play carnival games, and find good food. At night, the Boardwalk is a great place to meet up with friends. 

Go Shopping

Shopping is a good way to commemorate your trip and you might even find some sales. There is an outlet mall at 1271 Ocean Gateway, Ocean City, and a great place to buy souvenirs at 11 N Atlantic Ave, Ocean City, MD.

Take a swim

With the ocean so close-by, swimming is an easily accessible free activity to partake in. Nothing says summer like a dip in the ocean!

These are just a few options to explore but be open-minded to other ideas that are around. Many businesses will soon start having deals for senior week, so start booking your stay and have fun!
