10 Best Things to Do After Dinner in Ocean City

Ocean City’s after-dinner scene can start before sunset, as many restaurants and bars entice customers in with happy hour specials and live music. A seafood dinner might be the highlight of the evening or the kick-off a long night of fun. Convenient city buses make bar-hopping safe and easy, while town-sponsored evening beach events draw families to the sand for music, fireworks, and friendly competitions.

Here’s a compilation of the great things to do after dinner in Ocean City, ranging from those known for hearty American fare to fun spots for letting loose, getting down, and gambling. There are even fun karaokes where you can channel your inner popstar.

1. Seacrets

A lively waterfront hotspot

Ideal para: Vida noturna

Seacrets is a cool place to visit for an evening out on Ocean City’s bayside. Aptly calling itself ‘Jamaica, USA’, it has several dance floors, outdoor stages, tropical cocktails, and a Caribbean-inspired menu. You can also find multiple bar tables in the water and a playground of floating rafts against a backdrop of swaying palm trees.

Seacrets is an Ocean City ‘entertainment complex’ that spans 6 acres. The evening entertainment starts early and runs very late. The place encourages a more refined vibe – a simple dress code applies here. The beach stage is where you’d usually want to be around for their great live music performances. Happy hours are from Sundays to Friday, between 4 pm and 7 pm.

The emphasis may be on the stage and music for everyone to enjoy, but the bar serves a great selection of liquor, cocktails, and ice-cold beer (you won’t find any food service here). Some of its signature cocktails are fun and naughtily named – something you should check out for yourself.
