Ocean City Boardwalk Pictures at 27th Street

Twenty-Seventh Street (27th St.) is the last street intersecting the OCMD Boardwalk…

Walk the OC Boards over a decade and a half ago, virtually, with these 27th Street Boardwalk Photos from 2006.

27th Street and the Boardwalk, Ocean City, Maryland 21842. Twenty-Seventh Street is the last street intersecting the Ocean City Boardwalk at the northern end. Yep, this is where the Boardwalk ends. From this point south to the Ocean City Inlet, the distance is marked as 2 1/4 miles.

27th Street Sign on the Boardwalk.
“The Top of The Boards”
This photo shows the view north, and at this point, what you see is the end of the Boardwalk. From here to the Delaware state line is nearly eight miles of (protective) dunes and sandy beach.
This is a view looking west from the Boardwalk. As evidence that this is at the top of the Boards, the northern terminal for the OC Boardwalk tram (train) is right here.
This view is looking south toward the Ocean City Inlet – which is just over 2 1/4 miles due south from this spot.
This sign, painted right on the boards, lets you know how far a walk it is to the other end.

If you walk the OC Boards today – what will you see that is different in these 27th Street on the Boardwalk Photos from 2006? Please leave a comment below.
