Ocean city, MD or ocean city, NJ

Question

My friends and i are going on a beach trip one last time before school starts. we live in Mechanicsburg, Pa and we want to know which beach is closer, MD or NJ

Answer 1

OC, Maryland just got voted one of the best and cleanest beaches.  If you go in the summer it is ridiculously expensive. But if you book a trip in mid-late September, you can get a great deal, stay in a nice hotel, and the crowds are gone .....  and the weather in MD is still hot and summery.  You can even swim in Sept... that is how warm it still is here. :)

Answer 2

OC NJ is much closer for you, because the PA turnpike drops you onto 76, then 76 - 42- AC expressway.

OCMD is much harder to get to.  but it's a nicer place to visit.
