Visiting Ocean City with your fluffy friend is the beginning of thrilling adventures in one of Maryland's most attractive destinations. With national parks and miles of coastline to discover, there's no end of entertainment in Ocean City.
Outside the summer season (May through September), pets are allowed on the beach and boardwalk at Ocean City Beach. Stroll along this stunning stretch of sand and drink in the healthy seaside air. Play ball or frisbee with your pet on the sand, or even take a refreshing dip.
Explore the largest naturally occurring barrier island in the Middle Atlantic States with your pet. There are few human interventions in this stunning landscape which stretches for nearly 40 miles. Golden sand awaits you and your family, while inland there is an attractive public park, ribboned with miles of paths for you to ramble. Don't miss the half-mile marsh trail, an elevated boardwalk that floats above flitting dragonflies and other marsh wildlife.
Come Saturday, the Ocean Pines Farmers' Market is an ideal urban happening that you and Fido can enjoy together. The nearby park boasts a walking trail and a swimming hole that your canine can take advantage of too. Plus, you can stock up on locally farmed fruit and vegetables. There are even dog treat stalls selling crabmeat snacks. Purchase your pet a new leash and collar that they'll be proud of at this engaging event for the whole family.
