Escape to Ocean City- February Vacation Deals

Is a trip to OCMD in February worth it?

Is a February Vacation to Ocean City, MD Worth It?

If you think visiting Ocean City, MD in February sounds cold, dreary, and boring… think again! While you may not be able to go to the beach to sunbathe and swim in the ocean in February, a weekend in Ocean City is still more than worth your while. It can be a great opportunity to have a relaxing & quiet getaway!

Welcome to our first edition of Escape to Ocean City, where we’ll be posting a bit about what is happening here at the beach next month.

We’ll give you 3 great reasons to visit this month, 3 events happening, and 3 fun activities to partake in while you’re here. Let’s dive right in!

3 Great Reasons to Visit Ocean City in February

Off-Season Serenity

Stunning Ocean View

As you might have guessed, Ocean City in the wintertime is significantly quieter than it is during the busy summer months. There are less crowds, a more relaxed atmosphere, and MUCH less traffic.

We love winter in Ocean City for all of those reasons. If you’ve been tied up at work catching up from the holidays for the last month and need a quick break, visiting OC in February is EXACTLY what you need.

Cost Savings

Save Money on Your OC Vacation

Another great reason to visit Ocean City in February is the amount of money you can save compared to a summer vacation! During the summer months many vacation rentals have a 7-night minimum, but in the off season most reduce that minimum to just 3 nights.

Not only are you saving money because you’re likely not staying at the beach for quite as long, but rates are also significantly lower in the winter months compared to the summer.

While there aren’t as many rentals to choose from in the winter, we’re confident you can still find a great place to stay at a very affordable price.

Pro Tip- Bring some friends along to save by splitting the cost!

Unique Winter Events

February Events in OCMD

Even though it’s the off-season, there are still a few fun events in and around Ocean city. Are there as many events as the summertime? Definitely not! And while we do recommend being lazy and relaxing as much as possible during a February trip to the beach, it’s always nice to get out and go have some fun.
