Long awaited news from the Mayor (Rick Meehan) and the illustrious Ocean City Council. Last night (04/16/2007) they passed a "permanent" surfing beach in Ocean City. For years local, as well as , visiting surfers had to deal with rotating beaches throughout the season. Rotating beaches often meant educating visitors as well as surfers, which beaches were open for surfing on any given day.
Well thanks to the combined efforts of the City Council, ESA (Eastern Surfing Association) and local merchants there is a permanent beach at a location desireable for surfers. The designated beach will start at the Inlet(rock jetty) and run a third of the way to the pier. This is a consitant "break" in town and sitting adjacent to the Inlet parking lot, provides ample parking!
So wax up your surfboard, buy some shorts and head to Ocean City for some waves!

I am a native of Silver Spring, Md where I attended Montgomery Blair High School and then George Washington University. I spent every summer of my youth in Ocean City at our families beach house. I got "salt in my viens" and decided that the beach life was more appealing than than life on 495...so I made the move permanent in 1992. The best of both worlds in my opinion, I live at the beach, but I am still firmly planted to my roots in the DC area. My brother lives in the city, and I visit often. My career is real estate, specifically Marylands Beautiful Eastern Shore, from the beaches of Ocean City to the rural appeal of Pocomoke and Snow Hill. This I enjoy due to the constant fluidity of the market and the people, and clients that I meet and continually interact with. I look forward to being a source of some valuable, some not so valuable information for any of you Fox5 fans, interested in the Lower Eastern Shore and Ocean City!Jay Wise website www.awisemove.net email me: jay@jaywise.net
