✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Ocean City Municipal Airport (OCE/KOXB) is a public general aviation airport located about five miles west of Ocean City, Maryland, near Berlin. Established in the 1930s, it serves as the primary GA gateway to the Ocean City resort area and Assateague Island. The nontowered field has two asphalt runways and offers fuel, tie-downs, and flight training, but no scheduled commercial airline service.
💡 Local Tip
Pilots should check AWOS and NOTAMs before arrival; summer sea-breeze fronts can bring rapid visibility and wind shifts, and the field gets busy during the Ocean City Air Show and peak beach weekends.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is about a 10-15 minute drive from downtown Ocean City and the boardwalk; a car is the most practical way to reach it. Rental cars are not guaranteed on-site, so reserve one in advance or arrange a taxi/rideshare, as public transit service to the airport is limited. In summer, allow extra time on US-50 and MD-90 due to heavy beach traffic.
