Many of the area's top attractions are on or near the boardwalk, including Ripley's Believe it or Not!, the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum and Trimper's Rides and Amusements. The boardwalk features several benches where you can enjoy a quick snack or just take a break and people-watch.

Fractured Prune, Dumser's Dairyland and Thrasher's French Fries are a few of the boardwalk's can't-miss eateries. – Alissa Grisler, Associate EditorĮven if you're only passing through Ocean City, you can't help but spend time on the boardwalk.
