The Ocean City Beach Patrol 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 beaches below are currently guarded.

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.
