We always head out on the pier to see what they are catching that day. I love seeing the crab cages full of crabs. We’ve even seen Sharks and Octopus. Remember, don’t swim near a pier. Sharks love to hang out around them.

I have been eating candy and fudge from this shop since I was a kid. It is delicious and always fresh.
Forbes Candies
This has been one of my favorite surf shops since I was a teenager. They have great T-shirts and tons of beach souvenirs. It’s not on the boardwalk, but definitely worth walking a couple of block over to it.
17th Street Surf Shop
This is where most locals go at the beach. It’s also not on the Atlantic Ocean, it’s the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. The waters are calmer and there are not many waves… or crowds. There isn’t too much public parking, so you would have to get there e...
Chic's Beach
I would probably not buy jewelry in the beach stores, just go ahead and buy 14k plates from Amazon. These would be my pick. They would feel nice and beach!

Okay, this is a quirky place if you think what’s below you… like trash. It’s actually quite nice and a fun place to go. Don’t worry, it doesn’t stink or anything.
