Travel tips
If you plan to explore without driving, the Coastal Hwy at Golden Sands (107th) bus stop is very close (about 91 m away). In peak season, note that assigned parking has strict “no early parking” rules and only one space is provided; follow the check-in-time permit process via security/front desk as instructed. Ocean City noise-control ordinances are enforced, and exceeding permitted noise levels can lead to eviction under local rules.
