Spring Break time is rapidly approaching. If you are like many others, you might be headed to Ocean City to enjoy some surf and sand. I have put together a list of the top 10 things to know before coming to OC for spring break.
10. If you'd like to have a bonfire on the beach, you must first obtain a permit from the Fire Marshal's Office at City Hall.
9. Hitch-hiking anywhere in Ocean City is prohibited.
8. You cannot drive your vehicles onto the beach.
7. You may walk your dog on the beach (this is only prohibited May 1- Sept 30). You must keep your dog on a leash that is under 8 ft in length and clean up any waste.
6. It is illegal to sleep in your vehicle within the city limits.
5. Rollerbladers must stay on the sidewalk when one is provided.
4. The beach is closed from midnight-5:00am for cleaning.
3. Ocean City Police Department strongly enforces the city noise ordinance between the hours of midnight-7:00 am. You should not make any noises that are plainly audible at a distance of 50 feet from the building/vehicle you are in.
2. The drinking of alcoholic beverages in public is prohibited. You may not drink on any street, alleyway, sidewalk, beach, parking lot, or in a vehicle parked in any of these locations. It is also illegal to be in possession of an open container in public.
