Mayor Opens Beach, Boardwalk & Inlet Parking Lot on May 9

The following is a May 5 release from the Town of Ocean City:

Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan announced Monday that he intends to lift the Mayoral Declaration on May 9, allowing the opening of the beach, Boardwalk & Inlet Parking Lot. This is a way to give individuals more opportunities to get outside, exercise and enjoy fresh air, while still adhering to physical distancing guidelines and gathering limits. This does not supersede any Executive Order made by the Governor, including the closure of non-essential businesses. Maryland’s Stay-At-Home order remains in effect.

Declaration is available online: https://oceancitymd.gov/pdf/DeclarationMay4.pdf

NOTE: A spokesperson for Ocean City clarified that Ocean Pines citizens may return to the Ocean City beach and Boardwalk, starting this Saturday.
