Beach Fun On The Cheap Through Ocean City 'Free-For-All'

OCEAN CITY, Md. -- Are you ready for a vacation, but tired of high gas prices squeezing your budget? One area beach town has a solution: a "free-for-all."
 
Ocean City has created a new free-for-all website detailing all the free activities and events you can take advantage of this summer. You can also sign up for alerts reminding you of upcoming events.
 
The idea is to provide visitors with a one-stop place to find free and discounted fun, instead of hunting for coupons or scouring all sorts of deal websites.
 
The list of fun things to do for absolutely nothing includes:

• The air show June 11 and 12
• Movies on the beach every Monday and Friday June 27 through August 12
• Family beach olympics Tuesday evenings from June 28 through August 9
• The Dew Tour July 21 through 24, spotlighting BMX and skateboarding competitions

Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan says taking advantage of these free events will help ease the sting of this year's higher travel costs.
