Ocean City extends just more than {{convert|9|mi|abbr=on}} from the southern inlet to the Delaware line. The strip supports hotels, motels, apartment houses, shopping centers, residential communities, and condominiums. The southern tip houses the Ocean City Boardwalk. The boardwalk is the main shopping district and entertainment area of the town. The Boardwalk has two [[amusement park]]s, [[Trimpers Rides]] and The Pier, which was recently renamed [[Jolly Roger Amusement Park|Jolly Roger at The Pier]] after [[Jolly Roger Amusement Park|its sister uptown local amusement park]]. The downtown neighborhood, Old Town, is marked by Victorian style houses and other older buildings.

Ocean City has a long history of fishing, both commercial and recreational. The town bills itself as the "White Marlin Capital of the World." During the summer, numerous charter and private boats fish for [[billfish]], [[tuna]], [[wahoo]], and other game fish. In early August, the White Marlin Open, one of the larger fishing tournaments in the world, is held. Prize money for the largest [[white marlin]], [[Atlantic blue marlin|blue marlin]], and tuna can range over $1 million.
