Overview
Ocean City airport is located on the West side between
the city limits and the wetlands. As you can see on
the aerial view, the airport is walking distance from
the beach. Because of the runway orientation you will
often encounter crosswinds at 26N. Wildlife can also
be a problem, you have to exercise caution as some of
the birds are really big!
