Ocean City Life-Saving Station, Maritime rescue station museum on the boardwalk in Ocean City, United States.

The Ocean City Life-Saving Station spans two floors in a Carpenter Gothic architectural design with a distinctive watchtower and wooden exterior features.

Built in 1891 at Caroline Street, this rescue station moved to its current inlet location in 1977, serving as a vital maritime safety outpost.

The museum exhibits detail the evolution of beach life through artifacts, including an extensive collection of boardwalk memorabilia and arcade prizes.

The museum opens daily between Memorial Day and September, offering guided tours and educational programs about marine biology and coastal preservation.

The facility houses over 200 sand samples from global locations and maintains tanks with live marine creatures, including horseshoe crabs and seahorses.
