48th Street (Ocean City)
Edit SpotAbout
I love the spot, great for surfers and bodyboarders that are just starting out and in the winter good for everyone.
Atmosphere:
Its pretty mellow, no localism or anything, no sharks to worry about,just people.
Additional Info:
Get there early and pray for a spot, not that many surfers in the water but a lot of people on vacation

Once you are in Ocean City, drive until you see the sign for 48th street, turn in and try to find a spot.Ocean City is always ultra crowded in the summer but almost empty from late september to late may.If you are going in the summer bring your wallet to buy food and pay for hotel and get there early to find a parking spot.
