Ocean City Beach Canopies Under New Rules | Annapolis News

Ocean City’s beach canopy pilot program is quietly reshaping how folks enjoy the sand—with a focus on education over enforcement. After handing out over a thousand warnings and tweaking rules to allow 15x15-foot canopies (as long as they’re spaced out), officials are seeing promising results: just one ticket so far. The goal? Keep the beach open, fun, and fair for everyone—no more blocked views or tripping hazards. If folks keep playing nice, the town might ditch fines altogether. But if chaos creeps in, they’re ready to step up. It’s early, but the vibe’s hopeful: more space, less stress, and a beach that works for all.
