With more than ten miles of broad Atlantic beach, a boisterous boardwalk amusement park and hundreds of thousands of visitors every weekend, OCEAN CITY is Maryland's number one summer resort. No matter how you get here up or down the coastal highway or across the rural eastern shore along US-50 , its tower-block hotels may come as a shock; it is so overgrown, in fact, that its northern reaches now encroach into Delaware.
