Letโ€™s look at several pictures taken in Ocean City, Maryland over the past week between December 7h thru December 13th.  With the Christmas season now here, we definitely experienced a variety of weather this past week ranging from sun, rain, fog, wind and even some icing on the OC Boardwalk. 

 

Special events

Christmas light displays

Ocean Cityโ€™s largest special event in the off season, Winterfest of Lights continues to December 31st at Northside Park.

Pictures around Ocean City

The Ocean City boardwalk always provides great picture opportunities in the current off season as much as it does in the more popular summer months.

Always heartwarming are the seasonal decorations placed on the memorial boardwalk benches by loved ones.  Letโ€™s highlight another this week which is located on the Boardwalk between Somerset and Dorchester Streets.

We like to highlight some of the downtown district side streets.  This week we selected a picture of 8th Street from Baltimore Avenue looking towards the boardwalk.

The strong wave and wind action this week created some significant sand cliffs on the downtown beaches this week.  One of our Oceancity.com readers referred to these as SCARPs, a term that I was not familiar with, but will be in the future. It is a term meaning โ€œvery steep bank or slope.โ€ 

 

Sunrises in Ocean City

A staple of Ocean City are its great sunrise pictures.  Hereโ€™s two pictures taken this week.

Ocean City Sunsets

This week presented many great chances for eye-catching sunsets.  Hereโ€™s just two of them.  One by the Cambria Hotel bayside boardwalk.  This picture was taken at the โ€œLetโ€™s Get Litโ€ craft beer festival held last Saturday at the Cambria Hotel through Shorecraftbeer.com.  Another successful craft beer festival.
