Ocean City & Berlin

A classic boardwalk, bayside sunsets and wild horses.

Ocean City is Maryland’s classic beach town, with a three-mile boardwalk, Thrasher’s fries and sunsets over the bay. Pair it with a night in Berlin, a small historic town a few miles inland, and a morning at Assateague Island, where wild horses roam the dunes.
