The Ocean City Beach Patrol began the 2025 season on Memorial Day Weekend. The OCBP guards beaches from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekends and holidays, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
The following beaches are being guarded:
Check back as more guarded beaches are added throughout the rest of June.
Lifeguard stands may not be exactly at street ends as guards will place the stand in the safest area depending on water conditions. Thank you for helping to keep Ocean City safe. The Ocean City Beach Patrol strongly urges bathers to swim only at guarded beaches. If you have any questions, please call 609-525-9200. For all emergencies, call 911.
