Ocean City will be filled with the sounds of screeching tires and loud motors, smell of burnt rubber, and sites of flashy old cars. A scooter, or 50, will be driving by, too. Not into all of this motor-related action? Duck into a museum, shop for native plants, or go see some diving, water-loving dogs. Socially Speaking, it's a nice weekend to visit the ocean. Here are a few of our suggestions for things-to-do this weekend on the shore:

In honor of International Museum Day, the Ocean City Life-Saving Museum will have free admittance on Friday, May 18th from 10 am  – 5 pm. The museum features exhibits regarding Ocean City’s history, U.S. Life-Saving history, and local marine life information. The life-saving station museum is a historic building and a treasure on the shore. For more information about International Museum Day or the Life-Saving Museum, call 410-289-4991.
