Guided Tours

Ocean City with a story at every stop — on foot, on a bike, or out the windshield. Each tour is a route plus a placard at each place: read it here, or follow it on the map. Finish one and the Sand Dollars are yours.

🌙 2 of these only unlock after dark. You can read them any time; the game version waits for sunset.

    The island end to end once the sun is off it — nine miles of Coastal Highway from the north end's ball-field lights down to the Inlet, and out over the drawbridge. A tour you drive.

  • The Boards Before Two

    Three miles of Boardwalk on two wheels, Inlet to the north end — and a deadline. In summer, bikes are off the boards at 2pm, which is why this is a morning tour and why it ends at a pancake house.

  • The Three O'Clock Island

    Coastal Highway to the Inlet and back, starting at three in the morning — because last call is two, and by three the road has emptied of everyone who was drinking at it. Eighteen miles of a town you have only ever seen crowded, with nobody in it but you and the patrol cars. This one is not for everyone, and it is not a party: it is the loneliest and best two hours the island offers, and some people need exactly that on a holiday. Lights front and rear, or do not go.
