By On Deck Staff

The Philadelphia Inquirer described vacationing in Ocean City as, “Colorful umbrellas. Dolphins. Long walks together. Boardwalk. Music Pier. Family & Friends. The week that could go on forever.”
“It is no secret,” said Mayor Sal Perillo, “with eight miles of beautiful beaches, our family-friendly boardwalk, lodging options galore, over 100 restaurants, and a newly renovated downtown that boasts a unique shopping experience, Ocean City has it all.”
Saint Michaels, MD ranked second in a top 10 list that included Washington, DC; Newport, RI; Lancaster, PA; and Hyde Park, NY.
This is not the first time that Ocean City has been recognized for its excellent resort amenities.
Frommer’s highlighted Ocean City in its 13 “top destinations” for 2008, picked by its editorial staff, spotlighting Ocean City as a “charming boardwalk town.”
Last year, the Travel Channel selected it as one of the “Best Family Beaches in America” and USA Today honored Ocean City as one of the “15 Most Unforgettable Vacations.”
Fine Living Magazine rated the Ocean City Boardwalk No. four in the nation noting, “Ocean City is more in touch with its 19th century roots, The Ocean City Boardwalk provides a glimpse of the elegant Victorian seaside resorts that once dotted the mid-Atlantic coast.”
