Destination? Sahara Motel, Ocean City, Maryland, Oceanfront, Ocean City Lodging, OC Air Show, Event, The Skies Were Blue & Roaring in Ocean City, Oceanfront & A Bird’s Eye View

When visitors come to Ocean City, Maryland, they have pretty much one thing in mind…..the beautiful wide beaches that it is known for and the award winning Boardwalk.  A much needed vacation for those that want to leave the city for just a few days or more.  You might want to stay awhile, though.

Word of mouth is a great advertising tool.  When you have had the experience, then, you can talk about it.  Well, let me tell you about the Sahara Motel.  It is located at 19th Street & Boardwalk, Ocean City, MD 21843-0540.  Tel. 1-800-638-1600, or, 410-289-8101.  Website?  http://www.saharamotel.com.   Get close….look at the view.  It was my view!!  This is why you come to Ocean City.

Early in the a.m. step into the balcony to see if you want to walk the two and a quarter mile of Boardwalk…

The Sahara Motel is a family owned business.  It has other sister motels in Ocean City.  You may find more info. on the above mentioned website.  All properties have been given tender and personal loving care.  They are immaculate properties.  Very well taken care of.

My room was spacious, comfortable and sooooo clean.  It had a small refrigerator and a microwave.  Open those curtains, step out into the balcony and take it all in.

The Sahara Motel is reasonably priced with plenty of room choices:  Oceanfront, Oceanview, Poolside, West or Tower Buildings.

My oceanfront room had a front seat to the OC Air Show, which took place Saturday, 6/14, and Sunday, 6/15.  Beachgoers arrived early to take the best seats.  In a matter of an hour or so, the before and after photos show how quickly the beachgoers settled.

And then the skies roared…This is a unique year for the show, since it is the only show on the docket for the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds in the Mid-Atlantic.

The U.S. Navy Seals Leap Frogs parachute team and several civilian acts for the show participated.

You have plenty of hotels/motels choices when staying in Ocean City….check http://www.saharamotel.com.

Have a good one!!  Breakfast at the Sahara Cafe….post in the a.m., of course.

The Executive Motel is opening up today, Friday, 5/2, for Summer 2014.  It is located on 3001 North Baltimore Avenue in Ocean City (30th street).  It is a jump and a skip away from O.C.’s sandy, wide beach.  So close to amusements and restaurants.  Tel. 410-289-3101, 1-800-638-1600.  Website? http://www.executivemotel.com.

The Executive Motel is immaculate, run by the same family for many years. It is very reasonably priced and the perfect get-away for the week-end or the week.  Spend the day at the beach and then jump in the pool to refresh.

Year-round, any day of the week you will find early in the a.m., bikers, runners, walkers enjoying this historic Boardwalk.  It has been completely renovated.

The Ocean City Boardwalk is one of the best boardwalks in the country.  It is 2.5 miles long.

The Boardwalk dates back to 1902.  At the time is was just a wooden walkway for convenience.  It was rolled  up and stored on hotel porches.  If you want to learn more about it, please visit http://www.ocboards.com/history.php.

During the summer, families and visitors spend most of the time on the beach and walking up and down the Boardwalk, sampling all the grub the eateries can offer.

It’s summer at the beach!!
