OCBP Guarded Beaches

Thank You for a Safe and Successful Season.  As of September 21, 2025, there are no guarded beaches in Ocean City. Lifeguard coverage will resume in Summer 2026.

On behalf of the Ocean City Beach Patrol, thank you to our residents, visitors, City leadership and departments, and especially our lifeguards and EMTs for an outstanding, safe season.

Your support—on the sand, in the stands, and across the community—makes all the difference.

Off-Season Safety Reminders

There are no lifeguards on duty. Entering the water is dangerous—conditions change quickly year-round.

• Stay well back from the waterline during storms and high surf.
• Keep children within arm’s reach near the ocean.
• In an emergency, call 911 immediately and give your beach street location.

We’re already preparing for next year—see you in 2026!
