🎨 Art & Craft Tips for Ocean City
- •Serious buyers shop craft shows in the first hour for selection; bargain hunters come in the final hour when vendors would rather sell than pack.
- •Most shore craft-show vendors take cards now, but the good small-dollar impulse buys still move fastest with cash.
- •Boardwalk and beachfront shows are windier than they look — anything framed or paper-based you buy is safer carried flat back to the car.
- •Parking in Ocean City: Limited free street parking away from beach. Metered spots fill early on weekends.
