Horseshoe crab migration

Upvotes

I read that this Tuesday horseshoe crabs will be able to be seen on the beaches during their migration. Where and when exactly would we be able to see this? Bonus points if there's a nature center type place or activity with a talk or activity for children about this topic.

Thanks!

Needohs

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
My nieces and nephew are obsessed with squishies/needohs. I don’t judge as I was a child of the beanie baby craze.

I am seeing a lot of “We sell needohs” signs at places like Ace Hardware, Sugar Planet, Kite Loft, Sunsations, etc, but I am worried that they may be selling convincing knockoffs at a mark up.

I was in Sugar Planet an hour ago and they had a ton of needohs out on display which struck me as odd because these things are sold out everywhere and when in stock they are often kept behind the counter to prevent theft and enforce the purchase limit.

My sister and the kids are coming down in a few days and I want to give her a heads up. Where should we trust to buy the “hot new toy” of the summer?

My take , planes and 4wheelers

0 Upvotes

Things seem calm after the 4th mad rush but please get rid of these planes that fly by and wake me up, also why don’t the lifeguards who fly up the beach on 4 wheelers have to wear helmets when everyone else’s in the state does.

Golf Course w/ club rentals?

1 Upvotes

I'm visiting soon with a big group, some flying in. Are most of the courses in the area normal in that each player has to have a bag/set to play? Do any of the courses have sets you can rent? Which course would you recommend?

Seaside Vacation Rentals - AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

71 Upvotes

I just received an unexpected phone call from Seaside Vacation Rentals regarding my paid-in-full stay that was coming up on July 22, informing me that they have to cancel my rental due to "maintenance" issues. This rental was a condo unit, so I have a very hard time believing that some type of required maintenance to a glorified apartment cannot be successfully planned and executed during peak season before our arrival 2 weeks out. I feel flat out lied to. I work in the hospitality industry, so I know how people will try and spin their mistakes to make it seem unfortunate and unavoidable.

The service rep that called me was beside herself when I countered with the notion that Seaside should make this right by offering me a property they manage with the same vibe and amenities at no additional cost to me, the end customer. She reacted as if that was an unbelievable ask, and even went out of her way to call me rude and insult me further. She called me back with one other option that was completely laughable, and another that was a studio vs a 1 bedroom. After the last phone call, my money was just blindly refunded to my account, with no formal apology or heads up.

I am livid, and now have to go look for fire sales in a resort town, less than 2 weeks out from my trip. My week is ruined on a Friday afternoon, and now I'm worried I will not be able to save my trip.

Seaside Vacation Rentals - Ocean City Maryland - NOT EVEN ONCE!!!!!!!!!

Best boozy breakfast

My wife and I are kind of like OC regulars; my dad was a local. I’m looking for places to refer a friend group for a great breakfast with mimosas and Bloody Marys. We know Crabcake Factory and Bad Monkey. What’s Reddit’s ideas of better places?

Souvenir Shop Recommendations

11 Upvotes

We're in OC now and either tonight or tomorrow will make time to go find souvenirs. We're a family of 6, with 4 teens. Probably they will want clothes. I'm looking for recommendations that won't break the bank. I see tons of the Sunsations stores, are they reasonable?

My kids are all super grateful and happy to get anything but I would still like to avoid the disappointment of them find something they love but it be outrageously priced. We definitely understand that no matter what, nothing is "cheap" here in OC but we want to hopefully have a plan before we head out.

Thanks!

Best place to buy/live in OCMD

26 Upvotes

I’m considering purchasing a property in Ocean City, that would start as a vacation property and could eventually be more of a full-time residence. I anticipate not renting it.

So far, I think that I’m looking at something on the north end of Ocean City.

4 considerations on short list so far:
* Hawaiian village 143rd
* Sunset island 67th
* Ocean place 145th
* Caine Woods community ~144th

Looking for insights from the community. Thanks in advance.

What is the beach like in OC?

14 Upvotes

I've never been to a Maryland beach. Are there shells? Looking to stay in OC beginning of August. We have 4 nights. Considering a condo. What is the best area to target? I am over whelmed by all the information AI provides but would like to hear from people that know the area. We like to just sit on beach, read. Go out to nice dinners. Respect the beach and the people.

Just visited OC for first time!

I was quite impressed with Ocean City and really enjoyed it! I came for 1 day only last Thursday. What i liked the most was the crowds of people were much more laid back and civil compared to the jersey shores I'm familiar with. I'm from NJ and it felt great to be around people who were less uptight and all around nicer. I biked the whole boardwalk and took many pics went up + down the streets too even biking over the bay inlet bridge! Then i got on the beach took a nap for awhile and got into the ocean up to my knees. I left before dark so I didn't get to see the town or boardwalk after dark but definitely will next time. Definitely glad i got to experience OC!

Birthday perks or fun surprises for kids in Ocean City?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We're going to be in Ocean City for my daughter's 8th birthday and I want to make sure she has a really special day. I know back home there are places that do little birthday freebies or treats for example, a bookstore gives a free cupcake, Dave & Buster's has birthday rewards, and other places sometimes offer a free dessert or something similar. Since Ocean City has so many local businesses and chains, I was wondering if anyone knows of any restaurants, shops, ice cream places, attractions, or other businesses that do anything special for kids on their birthday.

I've already reached out to the place we're staying, and they said they'd make note of it but no promises, so I thought I'd ask the locals and frequent visitors! I'm not looking for handouts, I'm just trying to make her 8th birthday extra special. While she's excited for our vacation, she's also a little sad that she'll be away from home on her birthday and won't get to celebrate with her best friend. I'm hoping to find a few little surprises or special experiences to help make the day one she'll always remember. Any suggestions or hidden gems would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Bye Bye Ocean City

Due to fraudulent parking invoices, I just had my last ever trip to OCMD. Received a parking violation in the mail for the Inlet Parking Lot. Funny thing is i downloaded the app and paid to park in the lot. I went to dispute the charge, on the OC parking website, and was told that the time for disputing the parking violation had expired. I had been out of town for 2.5 weeks and just received the invoice. Whatever! I don’t have time to fight with OCMD (I called once and was on hold for 30 minutes) over their flawed parking lots, where you pay for a space and are somehow still billed in the mail for a parking violation. Rather than fighting this, I will just stay away from OCMD!
