Ocean City’s camera looks along the boardwalk near the Music Pier. The old link on this page pointed at our own town guide and claimed five cameras that did not exist; it now opens a verified Ocean City boardwalk cam.
What is actually in frame
Boardwalk activity around the Music Pier end. Ocean City is dry — no alcohol sales — which keeps the boardwalk crowd family-heavy well into the evening.
