Ocean City Maryland is approximately 2.5 to 3 hours from Baltimore (about 145 miles) via US-50 East. From Washington DC it's also about 2.5 to 3 hours (about 145 miles). Ocean City is Maryland's premier beach destination on the Atlantic Ocean with a 3-mile boardwalk, amusements, restaurants, and mini golf.
For Assateague Island pack: beach gear (chairs, umbrella, towels), sunscreen (apply before you arrive — no shade on the beach), insect repellent (biting flies can be fierce in summer), food and water (limited concessions), and cash for parking fees. Do NOT feed the wild horses — it's illegal and dangerous. Arrive early in summer as parking fills up.
