This is the boardwalk. For anybody who ever played monopoly, you know it's one of the best locations in town. The residential part is very peaceful. Watch people stroll by and watch the ocean roll in. It's a 1 mile walk to the rides and amusements. Eateries, arcades and shops are all within a five min. walk. You don't have to deal with traffic, parking or that horrible park and ride. You are already where everyone struggles to be. The ocean breeze blows all the mosquitoes to west ocean City and assateague so you will be bug and pest free. It's also much cooler on the ocean than it is further back in town or over the bridge. 2 free public pools are within walking distance. If you lay on the beach you wont have to carry your chairs far at all and you can get home quick if you need to go to the bathroom or want to grab a soda from your fridge.
