🦅 Nature & Wildlife Tips for Ocean City
- •Bird and wildlife walks at the shore start early because that's when the activity is — the 7am start time is the event, not a suggestion.
- •Bring binoculars if you have them; loaner pairs at organized walks run out fast.
- •Marsh and dune programs mean bug spray in summer and waterproof footwear year-round, whatever the forecast says.
- •Parking in Ocean City: Limited free street parking away from beach. Metered spots fill early on weekends.
