You won’t believe the variety of birds that inhabit the coastal bays behind Assateague Island and Ocean City! Many migratory species make their way here to nest and raise their young near our coastal waters each spring. Spring and summer species may include:
- Royal Tern
- Forster’s Tern
- Common Tern
- Black Skimmer
- Brown Pelican
- Piping Plover
- Osprey
- Tricolored Heron
- Snowy Egret
- White Ibis
- American Oystercatcher
- Willet
Delmarva Birding Weekends is teaming up with the OC Bay Hopper to run Sunset Seabird Safaris from May through September. The cost for the two-hour cruise is $60/person. Guests can register individually or in groups. They need a minimum of four participants to run a tour. The maximum number of participants is 16. Tours are mostly offered on weekday evenings.
We’ll investigate the bayside docks in Ocean City from M.R. Duck’s south to the inlet (there are often good birds hiding out there!), then we’ll cruise by the Assateague jetty. From there, we’ll explore the bayside of Assateague Island south towards Castaways campground, then back to the harbor. The cruise will feature a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain and a DBW Guide, so you will be in good hands.
The OC Bay Hopper has a liquor license and cold adult beverages are available for purchase. Cold water is also available.
The pickup location is the West Ocean City Boat Ramp, located on Sunset Avenue. There is no specific street address for the boat ramp, so please use these GPS coordinates: 38.3275, -75.10681. If you have a smartphone, you should be able to copy & paste these coordinates into the “search” section on your preferred maps app. For reference, the boat ramp is located on Sunset Avenue 1/4-mile before you reach The Shark on the Harbor restaurant, which is located at 12924 Sunset Ave, Ocean City, MD 21842.
