Free Summer Programs Return to Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum

Once again favorite summer programs are back at the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum. Programs begin at 10 a.m. on July 4 and continue through the summer to August 27. Programs are offered Mondays through Saturdays and all are great free, family entertainment.

Every Monday the Ocean City Beach Patrol members give their tips for a safe time on the beach. Learn the art of semaphore and spell out your own name.

On Tuesdays, Bob Stevens presents O.C.B.C (Ocean City Before Condominiums). Hear Bob tell how Ocean City was transformed from a quaint fishing village to the premier beach resort of today. A special focus of Bob’s program is dedicated to the women of Ocean City and their part in shaping the town’s history.


Wednesdays, members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary teach audience participants to tie their own bowline and many other useful knots.

Thursdays are for sharks. Museum curator Sandy Hurley unravels the myths and mysteries behind these underwater predators.

On Fridays, find out “Who were the Storm Warriors” and what did they did. Participants can see if they have what it takes to become an honorary “surfman.” Certificates and badges are awarded to successful applicants.

On Saturdays guests can see the seahorses at the museum receive their morning meal. Hear interesting facts about other local sea life of the area, and make sure to check out the shark jaws in the aquarium room.

During your visit, take time to tour the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum, which is located on the south end of the Boardwalk adjacent to the Inlet. For more information, call the museum at 410-289-4991.
