Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum

The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum is housed in Ocean City's 1891 Life-Saving Station. The museum offers visitors a chance to do a deep dive into the history of the U.S. Life-Saving Service and learn about the cultural and natural history of Ocean City and Worcester County, Maryland. Permanent exhibits include the original USLSS log book, physical artifacts from the USLSS, historical elements from the Ocean City Boardwalk, a collection of sand from beaches all over the world, and a display dedicated to surfing and its history in Ocean City, as well as the history of the pioneering women of Ocean City.
