Ocean City during the ‘off-season’ is really quite comparable to a ghost town. Only a few cars are seen cruising down Coastal Highway at any given time; all occupied by a lone local headed to or from work or home. The parking lots of Ocean City’s most notable hotels are deserted. The beach is cold; the water is a deep shade of grey and mimics the color of the winter’s sky.
When living in OC during the quiet winter months, it’s vital that you find beauty in a desolate community that was filled with color, life, and emotion just several weeks ago. It’s kind of poetic – just a little – trying to find emotion in lifeless objects.
Chris Muast, ShoreBread’s photog friend, took the stellar photos below of Ocean City’s Jolly Roger’s Amusement Park on 30th Street, bayside.

Read Chris’ thought process below:
- Riding bike to 45th St Taphouse at night
- Pass Jolly Rogers
- See lights
- Think of picture
- Next day: take pictures
Take advantage of the beauty hidden in an empty, coastal ghost town this season. Cheers!
