We took a brief hiatus from This Week in OC, but now we’re back and better than ever with This Week in OC: Off-Season Edition! Because even when summer’s over, there’s still things to do in Ocean City at any time of the year.
Even though it still feels like summer in Ocean City. See the Facebook live below… People were wearing shorts, tank tops and even bathing suits as they bicycled the Boardwalk and strolled on the beach on Monday morning. Temperatures will stay in the upper 70s/low 80s until it cools off on Friday with temps in the 60s and weather that finally feels like fall (knock on wood).
An important notice: Keeping your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand is actually really good advice this time of year. The season is over for the Ocean City Beach Patrol, though their skeleton crew still manning the beach via ATVs along with Ocean City emergency services, and they made dozens of emergency rescues over the weekend, according to The Dispatch. Two people drowned in separate incidents at Assateague on Sunday.
