48th Street (Ocean City)

Edit spot

About

I love the spot, great for surfers and bodyboarders that are just starting out and in the winter good for everyone.

Atmosphere:
Its pretty mellow, no localism or anything, no sharks to worry about,just people.

Additional Info:
Get there early and pray for a spot, not that many surfers in the water but a lot of people on vacation
