Last Bridge into Ocean City

It may not be the only bridge to cross to get to the beach but it’s the one with the best view.

There is one route into Ocean City, Maryland that has, what some refer to as, the iconic view of arriving at the beach. Ocean City is, of course, located on a barrier island, a really huge sand bar actually named Fenwick Island, and that means you must cross a bridge (or bridges) to get there.

Ocean City Route 90 Bridge – connecting the Isle of Wight to the Town of Ocean City.

Many people claim the best view of one’s arrival at the beach is seeing the skyline of Ocean City after breaking through the trees lining Route 90. Here are a few of the comments generated by posting the above photograph on social media in a couple of Ocean City related pages.

  • But the last mile going the other way hurts.
  • My playground.
  • One of the best feelings in the world.
  • I love this picture.
  • A double edged sword: it’s the best feeling coming out of the “woods” and seeing the city in the distance but the saddest part is when leaving and heading back into the “woods” knowing the trip is unfortunately over already.
  • Love this view every time we drive over the bridge.
  • The “longest” mile to the beach.
  • What a great picture!

Here’s another view that was taken from nearly the same location but with a slightly different angle.

Ocean City Condo Row Route 90 Bridge – showing the same bridge as in the image above but showing the condos to which many travelers are headed.

This gives us a clear view of the high-rise condominium buildings of Condo Row in Ocean City (sometimes referred to as the Gold Coast).

Both photographs were captured with a small drone flying above the Isle of Wight park on the small island that separated the two approach bridges over the St. Martin River and the Assawoman and Isle of Wight Bays. Assawoman is generally said to be north of this bridge and the Isle of Wight Bay to the the south.
