you will be surprised to find how beautiful the ocean city from its history, majority of the founders with the females, the brave one of the history. There is a huge parking next to the building perhaps one of the biggest parking lot that can hold more than 2000 cars. You must go with friends and families. The ticket is five dollar and you don’t need a advanced booking.

My kids loved this place! They had a search and find game throughout the entire museum! Perfectly set up for kids and adults. We had a blast and will definitely be coming back next year!

Great little museum to visit with the wife and kids. Lots unique items and pictures to see having to do with information about OCMD's life saving history as far as the coast guard is concerned from the beginning till the present. Their is a very friendly staff on hand and the museum it self houses everything from a small aquarium to boats used in the past to save lives to samples of sands from around the world. Definitely a must see with 2 floors of so much to look at from floor to ceiling.
