don’t take your o.c. for granted guys! after i moved to new jersey, and going to the jersey shore, i longed for the solitude of the upper beaches of o.c.. there are a few other mid-atlantic beaches, but to me, they don’t compare to ocean city. it’s cheaper, much cleaner than a lot of other beaches, and the people tend to be more friendly. but it’s best to go late summer, around the middle to end of september.
