"The Best Pot on The Beach.” This unique dining experience lets you choose from an at-home catering experience or a take-out option that includes a DIY low-country boil pot-to-go. They also offer the same great product included in the low-country boil pot to go that can be cooked in-house and ready for pick up, if you aren’t looking for a DIY experience.

"It’s the soft serve that reigns supreme on the Ocean City Boardwalk, and with several other locations up and down Coastal Highway, it’s a shore bet that ice cream will become a nightly ritual during a beach trip. A post shared by Dumser's Dairyland (@dumsersdairyland)"

"Family-owned and operated, located in the heart of Ocean City under a mile from the beach is Layton’s family-style restaurant. Robert Layton and his wife Peggy moved from Cambridge, Maryland in 1959 where they purchased their lot and started a coin-operated laundromat, three-car car wash, and a portable golf course with 18 holes. In 68 they introduced their first donut and in 1983, the couple launched their restaurant."

"As the name implies, Layton’s is your go-to family-oriented restaurant stop in town. You’ll find delicious, hot donuts fresh out of the oven on 16th St."
