Ocean City Boardwalk
When you visit Ocean City, you should spend some time checking out the Ocean City Boardwalk. It is a three mile long boarded home to several fun attractions. Visitors can enjoy amusements, shop, and grab a bite to eat at one of the many eateries in the area. When you visit the boardwalk, you will smell the aroma of caramel popcorn, french fries with vinegar, and freshly baked pizza. You will hear hawkers enticing people into one of the game booths, the electronic sounds of the arcade, and the horn from the boardwalk tram tooting to clear its path echoing in the background.
If you are looking for entertainment, the Ocean City Boardwalk is the perfect place to visit. One of the amusement attractions is known as Trimper’s Amusements. The most famous ride at the location is the Trimper’s Carousel. It has been giving rides to children and adults since 1912. The ride is the oldest continuously operating carousel in the country. It has paintings of animals both fixed and undulating as well as benches for visitors of all ages.
Jolly Rodgers is another amusement attraction that has fun rides for families to experience. You can enjoy exhilarating rides such as the Slingshot, the Tornado, the Looping Roller Coaster, the Hurricane, the Bumper Cars, and Crazy Dance. There are also midway game booths along the boardwalk for guests to play.
The Ocean City Boardwalk offers its visitors several places to shop for souvenirs. There are specialty pet stores, museum stores, jewelry stores, surfing stores, and many t-shirt shops. After shopping, guests can enjoy quality cuisine. Harrison’s Harbor Watch is a local favorite because it offers the best raw bar in Ocean City.
