No matter how you get here up or down the coastal highway or across the rural eastern shore along US-50 , its tower-block hotels may come as a shock; it is so overgrown, in fact, that its northern reaches now encroach into Delaware. Ocean City might be good for a day out, or even a long romantic weekend. It is, at least, easy to reach: Carolina Trailways buses from DC end up in the southern end of town at Second Street and Hwy-1 (tel 410/289-9307). The visitor center , at 4001 Coastal Highway (daily 9am5pm; tel 410/289-2800 or 1-800/626-2326, www.ococean.com ), has the usual brochures and can help with accommodation. Dominated by the boardwalk fast-food joints and the national franchises along Hwy-1 (there are no less than three all-night McDonald's ), Ocean City has few good eating options. The Angler Restaurant , on the bay at Talbot Street (tel 410/289-7424), has fresh seafood and an all-you-can-eat salad bar; it also offers nice beers, wild tropical cocktails and nightly live bands. Nightspots include the frenetic Big Kahuna Surf Club , 18th and Hwy-1 (tel 410/289-6331), and Shenanigan's , 4th and Boardwalk (tel 410/289-7181), which has a full menu and live music until 2am.
