The Town of Ocean City has agreed to pay $400,000 to settle a wrongful death claim stemming from a deadly tram crash that occurred on the Boardwalk on Aug. 20, 2024.

Ocean City is ringing in 2025 with a dazzling fireworks display across two locations, celebrating the New Year and the town’s 150th anniversary. The events include fireworks shows in downtown and uptown locations.

All that is required for the finalization of a ban on using houseboats as a rental for people to live while visiting Ocean City is for the second reading of an ordinance to proceed without any issues. That reading is scheduled for Monday night's Mayor and Council Meeting.
