City government staff and frequent beachgoers have noticed a gradual uptick this summer in the number of glass bottles, and broken shards thereof, on Ocean City’s beach.
“We don’t know exactly, but it seems that a lot more people are bringing glass onto the beach,” said Tom Dy, maintenance manager for the Department of Public Works. “It’s especially noticeable on weekends. I can’t tell you for a fact that people are drinking more, but we’re seeing a lot more glass bottles, including liquor bottles.”
Consumption of alcohol is officially forbidden on Ocean City’s beach, with a few rare exceptions for hotel bars that were serving on the beach before the city’s establishment of a public right-of-way in the late 1980s.

Pretend to be a tourist and walk along the beach at NIGHT. You will not be surprised to see who is hanging out.
We don't go to OC anymore during the summer. It, well, the type of people from certain areas (up north) have ruined it. Our beaches now resemble FDR and Jones beaches.
So now it's official. OC is full of trash. Pretty sure we all already knew that.
Hey, you invited them!
