[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My takeaway from this thread is nobody is familiar with [b]north ocean city where the beach is wide and uncrowded[/b]. Everyone seems to think OC is trashy…but it isn’t. And the OC and Rehoboth boardwalks essentially have the same crowds and issues these days.

I’m nearly 50 and I’ve been going to the MD and DE beaches several times a year since birth thanks to friends and family with houses/condos. Each town has its own appeal and hidden gems.

I’m sad about the hyper-construction and crowds. The towns don’t have the necessary infrastructure. And the costs are out of control. We would never pay for a rental…there are far better destinations for our vacation money. Thank goodness we know people with beach houses ;0)[/quote]

I agree with this. Everyone on here always says to go to the state park beaches and while I agree that they are less crowded than Bethany or Rehoboth, they're still way more crowded than a lot of the beaches in OC. Yes, the beach area at the end of the OC boardwalk is insane but once you get to the beach areas past where the boardwalk starts, it's not super crowded and the beaches are much wider than the DE beaches. We have a place on 28th street so we usually go there because we can walk but north of 28th, it's much less crowded.

And yes, I can see where OC can be considered trashy. But I was on the Bethany "boardwalk" this past weekend and [b]if I had to see one more shaggy-haired Bethesda lacrosse bro in Vineyard Vines....ugh![/b][/quote]

NP. Yeah, but the thing about Bethany and Rehoboth is that the lax bro is there with his family. OC trends toward trashy because it’s a bunch of 20-somethings and [b]senior-weekers getting wasted[/b]. The chill boring-ness of Bethany is why I like it.[/quote]

1-2 weeks a year its majority high school kids. Everyone knows that you avoid those weeks and the ocean is too cold then anyway. Otherwise, OC is majority families. Unless you hang out in bars and then, yeah, 20-somethings.[/quote]

Not hanging out in bars, but our hotel was filled with younger people when we went there in July. I had expected mostly families. There were families there too, but…not the same population as in Bethany or Rehoboth.[/quote]
