🎣 The White Marlin Open Is Less Than a Month Away
Mark your calendars — the White Marlin Open, the world's largest billfish tournament, returns to Ocean City in early August. That means packed harbors, buzzing bars, and live music turned all the way up across town. It's one of the biggest weeks of the OC summer, and the energy only builds from here.
Want to plan your week around the action? Watch this space — our White Marlin Open Guide is on the way, with everything you need to know before the boats roll in.
