Neighborhoods
Welcome to West Ocean City! Before you cross the Route 50 bridge, stop and explore the part of town that’s just a little bit quieter but just as vibrant, fun and family friendly as downtown Ocean City, Maryland. West OC (often referred to simply as “West O”) sits on the Sinepuxent Bay and is best known for its abundance of fishing charters and marinas, seafood restaurants that look out on the bay, shopping at Tanger Outlets and adventurous entertainment at Baja Amusements.
Pedestrians can walk or bike across the Route 50 bridge, formally known as the Harry W. Kelley Memorial Bridge, and arrive at Ocean City’s famous Boardwalk in under 10 minutes. Assateague Island National Seashore is just 14 miles south of West O, and the Isle of Wight Nature Park is a few minutes north. West Ocean City borders Berlin, Maryland, and that proximity alone draws thousands of travelers to lodge in West O every year. Berlin is America’s Coolest Small Town, after all, but West Ocean City is a close second.

Located just 4 miles south of Assateague Pointe Resort, Assateague Island National Seashore is a 37-mile-long gem in the national and state park systems. Here, you’ll find information about Assateague’s history, parking and entrance fees, the wild ponies and other wildlife, camping, recreational activities, pet policies, Chincoteague, articles, tours, photos, and more.
With miles of beaches, bike paths, and acres of undeveloped natural habitats, Assateague is a wonderful place to spend a day or whole vacation with. Wild ponies wander the marshes, birds chase the waves in search of clams and crabs unearthed by the water before they have a chance to dig back in, and brown pelicans skim the surface of the Atlantic. Large schools of fish can be seen offshore, and dolphins play just outside the breakers. If you are lucky, you might even see a whale coming up from air between the waves and the horizon in the late summer. You can visit yourself or go as part of a tour.
You can choose the State park where you can buy food and drinks and enjoy the comfort of a hot shower or the National park, which offers less amenities, but has outside showers, toilet facilities, and boardwalks crossing the dunes to the wide sandy beaches and the Atlantic Ocean. Camping of all types is available at both parks if you do not plan to stay in one of the nearby Ocean City hotels. In addition to camping, fishing, and beach-going, there are a myriad of activities run by the Assateague park systems and their vendors to keep all guests well entertained and in awe during a visit.
