Ocean City is among the top 10 beaches for families in the nation, and the top beach for families in the state, according to familyvacationcritic.com.

The website trumpets Ocean City's ban on alcohol, the boardwalk, Adventure Island and Gillians Wonderland Pier.

It also plays up Ocean City's low-cost events for families throughout the summer months, including Funtastic Tuesdays, Beach Walks, Family Nights and Character Nights.
