[quote=Anonymous]Ocean City is fun for kids but DH considers it a strip mall hell hole. You might check out a vacation rental in Chincoteague, Va. You can get a whole house, condo or townhouse unit with a waterview for the price of a hotel room in Rehoboth or Ocean City. The town is small and kid friendly with enough restaurants and ice cream places, there is a place you can do pony rides or even pony "camp" (the Pony Centre) and a great playground at Memorial Park. Good fishing and if you don't catch anything you can buy seafood at Gary Howard's. 
Everybody drives to the beach because it is on the next island out, it's a national seashore so more nature less high rises.  You park and set up your umbrella/base camp. If they "run" either they'll run out of room at the south end of Assateague Island or north they are heading into roadless wilderness beach so no wprries about crowds! I see some local kids surfing there often. 
That said you'll probably want to pop back up the road to check out the waterpark at Frontier Town ( a nearby campground) or up to Route 50 for a daytrip to  Ocean City's amusement parks or west OC's go-karting. 
Also, bring bug spray.
