BOARDWALK TRAM – get real OC flavor!
The very best way to catch the real flavor of Ocean City Maryland is to take a ride on the Boardwalk Tram (a train with rubber wheels). All day long and into the night the trams roll back and forth along the “boards”, a half hour long ride, the 3-mile stretch from the inlet to 27th Street allowing you to 
take in the sights and sounds of our fine beach town – seeing what makes Ocean City the fun place to return, year after year. During your trip you will see so much…from the families trudging across the sand, returning from a long day playing in the surf, to the famed Kite Loft kites flying overhead to folks 
dining outside the Phillips Beach Plaza boardwalk restaurant listening to live music, shoppers strolling along or people just sitting enjoying the fine sea air. From the Boardwalk Tram you may exit at will…just wave to the attendant – to experience something interesting you have just seen. And, you may board the same way to enjoy a comfortable ride to an intended destination. The flavors and fun of Ocean City are nearly endless; see ‘em from the Boardwalk Tram.
