    We go to OC a week in the summer & Thanksgiving week. Have been down there on Valentine & President day weekends. Still some stores open on the boardwalk during daylight in cold weather. Johnson popcorn always open Thanksgiving week. Maybe 80% of restaurants closed in the winter. Some only open Wednesday to Sunday.

    I enjoy Ocean City in the off season. Very Tranquil. You can stay at very nice hotels for a great price. I have stayed at the Hilton, which charges up to $600.00 a night in season, for $99.00 off season. Also, many off the restaurants in town have great specials. It is a great time for date getaway, or to go down with a group of friends.

    Great video Charlie! Thanks for the update video of the inlet shops. Sucks about the Frog Bar and now Harrison’s next! I loved going to the raw bar on a Sunday afternoon after a round of golf and having some great seafood and beers. Next I’ll hear that the Harbor Inn is closing. I’ve been to OC since 1968. Only missed 3 years. I’m there the first two weeks of August every year. Seen a lot of changes since 68. Love the downtown and west OC area the best. Can’t wait for summer. Cheers Charlie!

    I been vacationing in OcMd for 41 years it’s really a beautiful place I can’t begin to describe my love and affection for it.I have gone almost every month of the year except November even in the off season it can still be wonderful only negative would be the weather.I was down a few years ago in February and it was 65 and warm and sunny.It’s a very different place in the off season it very quiet great time for sightseeing.There was a time when the town basically shut down after Labor Day and didn’t get up & running again until Friday before Memorial Day weekend my father worked at the old sandbar on 33rd street 1970’s during summer he said the day after Labor Day you wouldn’t see a single car on Coastal highway it was like a switch was flipped.My favorite memories are from the 1980’s all the great places that are now long gone Morbid Manor is one of them

    Great video! Definitely chill months in January/ February. A little more people are coming in town year round and or using their vacation home as their primary to work remotely since 2020. September/October are great months to visit as the crowds are cut in half, weather is perfect, water is still warm and most spots are open.

    April is a good month to visit Ocean City. The weather is warming, and most shops are open at least on the weekends. I agree with other people, the off season or shoulder seasons are the best times to come to OC. The riff raff doesn't come down until Late May and June. If the Mayor has another summer season like last year, OC will be the place to avoid. Fights and stabbings were the norm last summer, especially in June! As someone who has been going to OC for the last 30 years, I would stay clear of this place in June!!!!
